At the residence of the American Ambassador to Belgrade, Anthonyfrey has been held in the meeting of representatives of the Kosovo and Serbia economic countries with the delegation of the United States International Finance and Development Corporation.
The Corporation's director, Adam Boelher, US President's special envoy for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Richard Grenelli, Ambassador Godfrey, representatives of the Kosovo and Serbia's Kosovo Odays, Berat Rukiqi, and Marko Chadez, respectively, as well as the chairman of the American Ode in Serbia, Zoran Petrovic.
After the meeting, it was said that both economic, Kosovo and Serbia's ovaries have agreed to co-operate.
Kosovo's Economic Ode Chairman Berat Rukiqi said the agreement reached in Washington on 4 September for economic normalisation is an important agreement for Kosovo and Serbia, as well as the Western Balkan region.
The political subx0ms have not provided new job investments and openings. What we're going to do is focus on the priorities of economic projects and many other”, Rukiqi said.
Meanwhile, the head of Serbia's Economic Ode, Marko Chadezh, said it would prove that the deal reached at the White House has brought stability to the region.
“Now we have a joint team to support the projects and provide expertise to our governments to implement the” projects, Chadez said.
Bowler: Economic normalisation means investment
The chief executive of the US International Finance and Development Corporation, Adam Boehler, said that Kosovo and Serbia, with the agreement on economic normalisation, have “the good of the people, and not politics”.
“This is not a situation when one country loses another wins”, Boehler said.
Meanwhile, the US president's envoy for dialogue, Richard Green, said the prognostics used in political talks by political representatives do not bring new jobs.
We believe in the power of the private sector. The government takes no jobs, but the private sector. Politics and symbolics in political negotiations that politicians use will never help people pay rents”, Yerenelli said.
The US delegation arrived in Belgrade in late hours Monday.
The Serbian presidency has warned that Boelher and Green will meet with the Serbian president and prime minister to sign the joint declaration for economic co-operation.
Such a document, US officials have signed with Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti on Monday.
The “Agreement we signed today (September 21st) has been a pledge to accelerate investments in Kosovo. We've been working on preparations for the possibilities of what happened a few weeks ago. We worked with our embassy, our ambassador and we have projects worth up to $1 billion. These include the Peace Highway, the railway, the liquid natural gas. We talked about the possibility of investing in a ski resort. We will also provide direct support to small and medium-sized businesses”, Boehler said in Pristina.
Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti has confirmed that cabinet ministers will form separate teams that will agree with US teams to implement projects stemming from the 4 September agreement.
Hoti and Vuciq have signed the agreement to normalise economic relations on 4 September at the White House, in the presence of President Trump.
The two sides, however, have not signed the signatures in the same document, but each has already signed its pledges.
Trump, on the other hand, has signed a letter commending the parties for courage towards normalising relations. /Rel
