(6 years ago)Richard Green [Richard Grenelli], current ambassador of the United States of America [ The US] in Germany, although young, has been involved in politics for a long time. He is staying in Kosovo today on a visit to our political leaders. He just finished his meeting with Mr. President. Albin Kurti is currently in a meeting with Mr. Mustafa [...]
Grenelli was U.S. spokesperson for the United Nations Organization. [File] The UN for nearly two decades, thus becoming the longest in this position, writes B92, past Periscopi.
In May 2018, he had been appointed ambassador to Germany, just in the face of tensions between the two Western states.
His name was mentioned in the context of Kosovo's dialogue with Serbia in December 2019 by the prestigious American newspaper Washington Post, when he met with Hashim Thaci, Kosovo president in Berlin.
In that article, Grenelli had named it President Trump “the man trusted”, and Thaci had promised him the withdrawal of the fee for goods imported from Serbia.
In Pristina this meeting was not officially announced. Grenelli is reported to have sought normalised relations between Pristina and Belgrade and direct negotiations between them.
This meeting was held just days after the letters Trump had sent to the two presidents, Thaci and Vuciqi, showing willingness to assist in efforts to reach an agreement that respected the interests of both sides.
But the job as Green's ambassador to Germany has been considered a contour.
Shortly after arriving in Germany, he was sharply criticised for comments that German companies should stop all co-operation with Iran, while Trump was withdrawn from the 2015 nuclear agreement.
And in an interview given to the right medium Brighton News, he had said that he wanted to strengthen the European right. This had exposed him to attacks by the ruling coalition and opposition in Germany. The German State had asked for clarification on this statement.
In March 2019, Yerenelli had described Germany's plans for military expenditures within NATO as insufficient, after which German politicians accused him of interfering in the internal political affairs of an independent state.
In 2013, he discovered that he was diagnosed with the Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a group of blood cancers that included all the lymphoma, except for Hodgkin lymphoma. Then he was subjected to chemotherapy and which had succeeded. /Periscope
