Former Serbian diplomat analyses Beden's letter: He hasn't changed, is looking for the maximum for Albanians

The unusual happiness of US President Joseph Biden, sent to Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq on the occasion of Serbia's citizenship day, cannot be interpreted as an example of a diplomatic congratulations for another country's national holiday, estimates former Serbian diplomat Vladislav Jovanovic. He points out that <x0) the joy of another country” [...]
He emphasises that the <x0nd of joy for another country” is usually used to repeat readiness to improve relations in various fields and perhaps develop friendly relations, which, as he points out, “are not focused on mutual recognition of Kosovo by Serbia”.
diplomatic “UEWs are almost never charged with a special, most difficult possible task in bilateral relations between Serbia and America. Seeking that Serbia commits itself in the coming period to resolve the Kosovo issue in a way contrary to national and state interests and the Constitution, it is something that is not common and it is not good to find it in any diplomatic school book as an example of a congratulations for a country's” holidays, Jovanovic says.

According to him, all that is said on the card is a clear indication that Beden has not changed much since his early “release from “
“instead, this shows that he believes direct and recent pressure on Serbia could achieve the maximum goal for the United States and Kosovo Albanians, recognition of Kosovo independence”, the former Serbian diplomat concluded.
Beden sent a congratulating message to Vuciqi for State Day, confirming the US's commitment to support a legally binding agreement for the sweeping normalisation of relations between Kosovo and Serbia, but at the same time stressing “focus on mutual recognition of Serbia and Kosovo.
