At the invitation of Ambassador Green, I have also met with Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq. Let me introduce you to this meeting and its implications. The meeting marks the US's powerful return to the process of research or the possibility of reaching the eventual agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. We here in Kosovo, all indiscriminately, institutions, political parties, the media, have called for the American presence in the middle, also for Washington to take an empty role in leadership in this process.
