“Washington has not changed policy towards Kosovo, Belgrade knows who killed Jovanovic”

He said the frozen conflict of “prevents Serbia from fulfilling its goal of becoming an EU member”, stressing that the “security key is located in Belgrade. ”

In an interview for the “The Voice of America”, which has spoken in the role of the Balkan expert, says that “dialog between Belgrade and Pristina, which leads to the EU, certainly does not function, and the status quo in Kosovo is not sustainable and can lead to further incidents. ”

He also estimates that Kosovo's possible “UN membership depends also on Serbia, even though recognition of Kosovo's independence is not crucial”, reports “b92”, Periscopi broadcast.

“If Belgrade reaches full consensus with Pristina on its neighbour's status, I believe Moscow and Beijing will reduce their opposition. Of course, we don't know for sure... But I'm sure the key is in Belgrade. President Vuciq wrote in an article a year ago: It is time for Serbs to stop with illusions and accept the reality of Kosovo,” said Joseph.

Asked whether US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and new national security adviser John Bolton approved a new approach to Serbia's administration, Joseph answers that this is possible “only in the interest of growth for Russian impact”, while “policy towards Kosovo will remain the same”.

I think no one in Serbia should expect that there will be dramatic changes in American politics. There is a consensus in Washington on two facts: that Kosovo is independent and that Serbs living there have their rights. As well as the need to protect the rights of Serbs, both north and south of Ibrit”, Jozeph said.

He also says it is “inclined to believe authorities in Belgrade know who killed Oliver Ivanoviqi”./Periscopi/
