Gashi does not deny that the US can remove Bondsteel's base: Americans warned us of even more serious sanctions

Periscope Today has reported that senior American officials at a meeting with political leaders have asked them to drop the tax. Or America will withdraw American troops and shut down Bondsteel's base in Kosovo.

That has not denied even Deputy Prime Minister Dardan Gashi, who has been part of the meeting with Americans today. He's in a proposal for Periscope has shown that John Earth and Brad Berkeley have been very harsh and have warned of even more serious sanctions on the Kosovo state.

There's been very serious and very open conversations. Among other things, the possibility of any more serious sanctions for Kosovo has been mentioned, Gashi has told Periscope.

Asked directly if removing Bondsteel's base would be our next sanctions, Gashi said it's the exclusive decision of the United States, but they're obviously very frustrated with our attitudes that we're not listening to.

“It has been repeatedly expressed, not the first time. They're also probably warning that the sanctions they've imposed so far, the sanctions you already know were public. More serious sanctions may follow. It has been very serious that what has warned it can happen. I am not denying that they have warned the removal of Bondsteel camp, yet they have spoken of very serious sanctions affecting Kosovo's security as well, but that could seriously damage relations with the United States of America, Gashi stressed.

John Earth and Brad Berkeley are the two senior American officials who arrived in Kosovo yesterday. During yesterday, they met with Kosovo president Hashim Thaci and the Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj. At this meeting, the two senior American officials have reiterated the White House's clear message -- that the tax on Serbia should be suspended and the road to dialogue opens.

We remember that since the tax was imposed, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has been continuing to oppose the United States' demand for the suspension of the tax, as a condition to move further into dialogue.

Haradinaj's pride is one of the biggest damage affecting the US reports, and in the future, these damages can become irreversible.

We also recall the fact that the US has cancelled a series of support for Kosovo, which has to do with very sensitive points, such as KSF's, and mainly security training-related programmes.

On the eve of the Independence Festival, the United States, had been banned from one of Aiva's most respected generals, Timothy Orr, the visit he had warned in Kosovo, precisely because of his refusal to return the tax.

Otherwise, Camp Bondsteel is the main base of the United States Army under KFOR command in Kosovo. It is located near Ferizaj and serves as NATO's chief centre for the Multinational Task Force of the East. /Periscopi/
