Periskopi(5 years ago)
(5 years ago)Former US Ambassador to Serbia William Montgomery says it should not be surprising that US President Joseph Biden sent a message to Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq, congratulating him for Serbia's State Day and, in part, wanting an agreement with Kosovo for mutual recognition. Above all, Montgomery [...]
Above all, Montgomery told the Serbian media media that the United States strongly supported Kosovo's independence, so, he says, this is a clear message showing what kind of policy the Biden administration will pursue, which “will harmonise its policy towards Kosovo with the approach of the European Union”.
“Therefore, the Serbian government will face constant pressure in the coming months”, says Montgomery, adding that this means Vuciq will find himself “facing a difficult” choice.
On Friday, the president of the United States of America, Joe Biden, decided to write a letter of congratulations to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucinqi, on the 15 February issue of Serbia's citizenship day. This letter, which arrived yesterday at the Serbian Presidency, although it had within it heartfelt congratulations of the president of the most powerful state in the world, contained a sentence that marred the day of Serbia's head.
In a rather unusual way in diplomacy, through a letter of congratulations -- his first president to Serbia -- Joe Biden asked Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq to recognise Kosovo as an independent state.
