New American Ambassador to Belgrade: So solve the Kosovo- Serbia

I don't plan to have access to Serbian leaders like I'm lectured. I hope in open dialogue, but when it's necessary to say unpleasant things to them, I'll tell them directly, in private talks, no matter how much, because diplomatic work is more efficient that way”, Godfrey told Sunday's edition of “Politika”.

Speaking of the positions of US special envoy for the Western Balkans, Matthew Palmer, but also Richard Grenelli, the US presidential envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia talks, he said both seek to resume dialogue, encouragement and, as he hopes, aid to Kosovo and Serbia to come together to the solution from which both sides will benefit, the Koha.net broadcasts.

In the question whether Washington's idea of border change is on the table and whether he thinks about recognising independence, he said it is important to put it to meaningful talks.

I'll have to quote Matthew here. Palmer, who says that there are no red lines in this case, and there is no blanco support. It's a good way to explain how Washington sees this case. We will not determine the way the two sides -- Belgrade and Pristina -- should come to the resolution”, the US ambassador to Serbia said.

He added it is important to reach essential talks between the two countries and that all possible obstacles must be addressed in order to reach a sustainable solution that would contribute to the stability and prosperity of the region.

In his words, “taxa, the campaign for attracting recognitions of independence... all these are important challenges”.
