Kosovo's major supporter expected to be US secretary of state

Blinken, who is expected to be nominated by Biden for secretary of state, had worked at the White House during the time of former President Bill Clinton and was specifically engaged in US military intervention to end the war in Kosovo.

How much she knows of Kosovo and its problems, Blinken has shown even when she has not been in a very important position in the US. For example, in November 2015, he met with then Kosovo President Hashim Thaci to give support to Kosovo's campaign for membership in the U. NESTO.

“Kren to convey our strong belief that Kosovo should be welcomed by U NCO General Conference as a full member” wrote Blinken.

In the following year, he had enjoyed the success of Kosovo jungle Majlinda Kelmendi, who had won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Rio.

“In their first Olympic games, congratulations to Kosovo on winning gold in the judo in Rio2016”, Blinken wrote.

Those who know Blinken well insist that his commitment to human rights is genuine and rooted in his long experience. He's also the stepfather of a Holocaust survivor and had worked at the White House for the US intervention in Bosnia.

A born internationalist, Blinken will seek to cool down the tired nerves of Western allies, writes The Guardian.

After the first media reports Sunday evening appeared that Antony Blinken would be US Secretary of State in the Bide administration, a separate interview from his past began to circulate in social media.

It was his September 2016 conversation with Grover, a character from the Sesame Street, with the subject of refugees addressing American children who could have classmates from distant lands.

We all have something to learn and win from each other, even when at first we don't seem to have a lot in common”, Blinken told him.

After four years of administration that has separated children from their parents and kept them in cages, Blinken's arrival in the State Department will mark a dramatic change, the Guardian says at least.

According to the British daily, foreign policy priorities in the early days of the Biden administration will be reviewing treaties and agreements that Donald Trump left.

Blinken has been by the side of Biden for nearly two decades. After working on Bill Clinton's National Security Council, he became the leading foreign policy adviser to Biden in Senate in 2002, as head of staff on the Foreign Relations Committee.

After Obama elected Biden as vice president, Blinken returned to the White House as his national security adviser. His face can be seen in the back of the room in the famous picture of Obama officials monitoring the action that carried out bin Laden's murder.

News of his possible appointment as secretary of state was welcomed soon by Matt Dus, Bernie Saunders' principal foreign policy adviser.

This is a good choice. Tony has the strong trust of the elected president and knowledge and experience for the important work of rebuilding American diplomacy”, Dus wrote on Twitter. “will also be a wonderful new thing to have a high diplomat who is regularly engaged with progressive foundations”.
