Green proposes Kosovo-Serbia economic zone similar to what made China superpower

We think it's a very good idea, create new jobs in the region and try to connect countries economically, commercially,” said Green in an interview for American Newsmax television.

He added that only after that can political issues be on the agenda, as a second step.

The special economic zone Shenzhen was established in May 1980 and is the first unique economic zone in China, after which five particular economic areas were established.

Many export-oriented producers produce and collect goods in the area.

The World Bank states in a report that the features of that area are broad political and institutional autonomy, public-private partnerships and large foreign direct investment, as well as major Chinese diaspora investments.

Grenelli did not explain what such an area meant in the case of so-called Kosovo-Serbia economic relations, whether it is a kind of economic union or simply close economic relations.

He also said that “Several so-called experts” pressured both sides to discuss only political issues.

“We decided to get involved, because there is a long story with so many experts, so-called experts who only pushed them into political problems, ignoring economics”, said Green.

He added that young people in Kosovo and Serbia need work and hope.

When I talked about the problems of young people in Kosovo and the business community, as well as in Serbia, it was clear that they wanted economic development, jobs and want hope,” said Green.

Green called the deal reached in air traffic historic, saying it was signed for the first time in 21 years.

According to Newsmax, Pristina will be represented in Washington by President Hashim Thaci and Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti, while Belgrade by President Aleksandar Vuciq and Prime Minister Ana Brnabiq.

The composition of the delegation that will go to the meeting at the White House has not yet been announced in Belgrade.
