The prestigious American newspaper Wall Street Journal has written about the context that US President Donald Trump, Kosovo and Serbia will make for normalisation of relations.

The “Liders of Kosovo and Serbia have been invited to the White House on 27 June; Trump hopes for a” pre-election agreement, the article says.

President Trump has invited the leaders of two Balkan countries to the White House, in an effort to resolve a dispute that has lasted for decades, and that disappointed with a US military intervention in the region.

Despite two US state crises -- of the turmoil and spread of the virus -- Trump hopes to secure a long-lived formal peace in the region that has been a hot spot of superpower rivalries -- to improve foreign policy credentials, according to senior US officials.

But the resumption of dialogue between US-backed Kosovo and Serbia, an ally of Russia, has immediately opened debate in Europe, where diplomats fear the EU is being bypassed in its backyard.

Serbia has confirmed it has received an invitation for dialogue in Washington on 27 June.

Kosovo's dismissed prime minister has accused Special Envoy Richard Green, who will also co-ordinate the meeting at the White House, of orchestrating a country against him, the charge that Green is denying. Some European leaders say the potential agreement creates a dangerous precedent because it may include exchange of territories.

New Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti, who took office on 3 June, told SINCE his government is looking forward to entering negotiations under US auspices.

Until the war ended in 1999, there has been sporadic violence over the past two decades that has resulted in death on both sides as well as peacekeepers in the country.
