Now the question is, will you soon see the end of dialogue with Havenier's arrival in Kosovo?

Otherwise, Havenier from Washington had served as director for Central and Southeast Europe at the National Security Council, as well as at the State Department Bureau, for European and Eurasian affairs responsible for NATO and Central Europe
