Selmanaj: Deal in Washington leads to mutual recognition

It is a big step towards eventual achievement and will end with mutual recognition. Today's agreement has more to do with normalising bilateral relations between Kosovo and Serbia. It is a unique event of great historical importance. It is important that even this agreement has been the defeat of taboos for two years' recognition, rather, there were states that attracted recognition. It is the state of Israel with which we soon establish diplomatic relations”, Selmanaj said.

Selmanaj stressed that there is no need for dilemmas in Kosovo regarding this agreement to be signed in the presence of President Donald Trump.

This is not a bilateral agreement between the two states. It is a pledge agreement that two countries have already made with US mediation are pledges Kosovo makes to engage in the report with Serbia. The United States is guarantor. It is not a classic bilateral agreement, so in our document it is only the signing of Prime Minister Hoti, and the other document, Serbian President”, Selmanaj said further.

Selmanaj said Kosovo is committed to trusting the US.

If we don't have the United States, it won't bring us any weight. The White House, President Donald Trump, are our competition. We are here because of their invitation and the security we have in relation to the US”, Selmanaj stressed in Interactive.

According to him, today's agreements are extremely positive for the state of Kosovo.

“You will see success from these agreements within the year, he said.

As far as the US has asked Kosovo to pause its application to international organisations, he deems it acceptable on the part of Kosovo.

Kosovo has had a problem without agreement with the US. Neve an is required to pause for a year's application, while Serbia, to stop the recognition campaign. It has been a reconciliation with us because each application process should be entered in full agreement with the US”, Selmanaj said.
