Diplomats from Serbia, Kosovo and Greece tell the Voice of America that their countries hope for sustainable American interest and investments in the Balkans and the Aegean.
The change of power in Washington several months later is reported to have demonstrated a degree of uncertainty in the Balkan and Aegean (Greece) capitals about the fate of the projects that were discussed, as well as the general direction of American government's support for investment in the region.
To ease such concerns, Marchick said in his written statement issued to the Voice of America that: ““The DFC is committed to supporting private sector investments in Serbia, Kosovo and the wider region. We are eager to build in the renovated DFC Investment Agreements with Kosovo and Serbia, which we remain committed to and continue our expanded focus that began last year with the creation of a regional DFC presence based on the US Embassy in Belgrade. “
Valdet Sadiku, who arrived a month and a half ago to lead Kosovo's diplomatic mission to Washington as in charge of work, said his country is waiting to expand ties with America “in any possible way”.
For us, it's a priority,” told Sadiku to the Voice of America in a telephone interview. And even though the elections have included a new group of leaders in Pristina since February, Sadiku said, “I can assure you that nothing has changed about our relationship with the US in general and the DFC in particular in this case. ”
We want to honor Mr. John Jovanovic (inaugurative director of the DFC regional office). He was truly wonderful and contributed to the effectiveness of this office,” said Marko Djuric, Serbia's ambassador to the United States, in a recent interview with the Voice of America.
“We will do our best to make our co-operation with the new director even more successful. ”
Serbia's “Wants to establish as strong ties as possible with the US. It's non-party,” stressed Djuric.
We want to work very intensively with the new administration to promote economic ties. ”
“actually, the entire region has been unanimous in supporting the work of the DFC,” he added.
“We are eager to see the DFC engage in as many concrete projects as possible”.
