Bolton: Territorial exchange was not my idea, Kosovo, Serbia leaders demanded

Bolton somehow admits that he has been informed about this issue, which he said was the idea of Kosovo's president and Serbia, Hashim Thaci and Aleksandar Vucic, respectively, despite not mentioning names.

Bolton has also shown the fears of some EU countries accepting the partition of Kosovo, while citing Russia's impact and attempts to influence the Balkans. The Pentagon's former top official has considered failure, not achieving the Washington summit on June 27th, but for him, the parties have lost only one photograph because nothing could reach.

“It was not my idea to trade land, it is the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia that have requested it. I think I had the impact that I thought some steps should be taken in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, the first to reduce Russian implications and influence by trying to get them to smell the cold war. in the first place was Ukraine in danger, first speaking with Belarus so that it would not be abstracted by a Great Russia. Poland and Belarus were with me. In the Balkans, I said the danger remained with unresolved disputes, fertile land for someone who could create conflicts. The resolution on the name Macedonia was a major achievement.

I thought we'd see to make progress in Kosovo. The Washington meeting between Serbia and Kosovo did not produce agreements, I stayed from abroad. It worries me that from these meetings there would be a chance for photography and not more than that. The meeting also failed for photos. Being attentive to Russian interventions, for me, America, but Europeans also needed attention to the situation. Since 2018, it had effects on Serbia and Kosovo. The leaders of Serbia and Kosovo wanted to resolve these issues between them, that there could be no economic development with disagreements. Too many contradictions within two countries.

One of the things we would discuss was the exchange of land, but in the Balkans and Europe were met with objections that they feared a land swap there could happen in Europe elsewhere. This has happened in history, something to live with, to accept. If Kosovo and Serbia had reached the agreement, and it would have been a part of its land shift, and a part of the EU would have opposed and opposed it? That wouldn't happen. James Becker once said that only parties can make decisions, we're willing to help you”, Bolton told Focus.
