Scott: US to Continue Attempt to Removal Tax, Continue Dialogue

He feels that the solution must be reached between the two countries through direct conversations.

“United States and no one else should dictate what the solution must look like”, Scott has said in the Belgrade newspaper “blic “responding to the question whether “definition” between Kosovo and Serbia is the solution.

In his words, al jazeera conveys, it is important that Serbia and Kosovo return to dialogue, and therefore the US “has sent Kosovo a clear message that the tariff it blocked (dialog) must be removed “.

We sent this message to our partners in Kosovo. We also think that the return to dialogue is important, but Serbia must play its role in order for the process to move forward, as well as implement earlier agreements and consider compromises for the future”, Scott has said.

Asked whether the US will take another step on Kosovo, he has replied that “is not good to speculate about the potential steps” his state will take, but has said” The US will continue efforts to encourage the Kosovo government to withdraw taxes and return to the chat table”.

There are other options that can be included, but I think much more important to focus on the positive side, such as the withdrawal of tariffs, the return to the negotiating table, the focus on dialogue and the achievement of the European Union's comprehensive mediating agreement, which would establish normalisation of relations, that is our goal. Thus the Balkan stability region will be built and strengthened and this is in the interest of Serbia, Kosovo and US-US-A”, Scott has said.
