Serbian analysts talk US influence on Kosovo

According to them, US support for Kosovo has its monument in Pristina.

Former American President Bill Clinton said he had never expected anyone to build such a big monument for him, like in Pristina.
However, Kosovo had Washington's attention much earlier than declaring independence. In the 18th years, they began dealing with the rights of Albanians, much more than with the rights of Serbs. Still, no support for any action.

“Robert Gelbard in 1998 stressed that the KLA was a terrorist organisation, but in March after operation on the Jashar family, the US consider U The CK as a relevant, non-terrorism Liberation Organisation, and then changes” occur, says Milan Krstic of the Faculty of Political Sciences, Serbian public television “RTS”

The change in relations between Serbia and America, allies in two wars, culminated in bombings, which were prompted by America. Since then, this country has become practically a sponsor and promoter of Kosovo's independence.

“Among the causes is the American Congress in which the powerful Albanian lobby was operating, the lack of consideration for Serbia's position and officials in the American administration, among which Mrs. Albright was among them, and eventually to a certain extent, the inability of personnel in Serbia”, says Krstiq, conveys Telegrafi.

Centre for Foreign Affairs head Aleksandra Joksimovic emphasises that Slobodan Milosevic's policy has largely contributed to our having this final outcome.

Fifteen years after the unilateral independence declaration, America continues to be questioned in Kosovo. Ramush Haradinaj reportedly did not obtain an American visa at the beginning of the year due to the Special Court's contest for war crimes and demarcation with Montenegro. Pristina has not received the green light of America, nor has it turned the Security Force into the military, unless minorities agree. While in the Brussels dialogue, by many, [ The US] are the fourth chair”, she says.

The UN “cannot have a key impact on the actions of the process in implementing the approved agreements. If we talk about the Association of Serbian municipalities, without the active support of the United States they cannot expect full implementation “will be achieved, Joksimovic said.

Ljiljana Smajlovic, columnist of “Nedeljnik” Vest believes that Wes Mitchell comes to Belgrade to search, among other things, a chair, Serbia's reconciliation for Kosovo to membership in all international organisations, respectively.

However, until they promoted Kosovo's independence, Americans worked in relations with Belgrade. For example, Serbia has donated nearly a billion dollars, invested over four billion, while the Serbian Army more often co-operates with the American Army.
