Car Push: Correcting borders is American, not Russian

I don't understand why you ask me as Russia's representative to comment on the idea that US officials promote. As you may recall, in August 2018, John Bolton, a national security adviser to American President Donald Trump, spoke of the possibility of implementing this scenario, as well as US Assistant Secretary of State Matthew. Palmer”, Russian ambassador said in an interview for A2 CNN, Beta agency broadcast.

Russian diplomat reiterated the stance that Russia supports dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.

Russia's “President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed that our country is ready to accept any acceptable solutions that the parties achieve through dialogue and in line with Resolution 1244”, Russian diplomat has said.

However, according to him, we have not heard any official statements through which it would prove that the parties are viewing changing borders as resolving the situation.

The idea of changing borders has been mentioned several times by Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and Serbia's Aleksandar Vuciq. The United States has said it supports a peace agreement the two sides agree on.

Deputy US Assistant Secretary Matthew Palmer, it has said long ago that Washington calls on Pristina and Belgrade to see “historical opportunity” and reach agreement through which the “both sides would be victorious”.

Palmer: There are concerns about changing borders, but even frozen conflict poses danger

“If someone is the winner and the other loser, then no one wins”, Palmer said in Belgrade during address at the “security forum Strengthening Balkan countries”.

According to him, the US understands concern about the possibility that changing borders represent crisis in other countries in the region, but it has stressed that the unresolved and frozen conflict “also jeopardises the stability of the region”.
