Important player in American diplomacy from Clinton to today: Who's Derek Chollet?

He will meet with Kosovo leaders, within the framework of this visit to the region aimed at the US's sustainable commitment to peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

This visit also concerns continued co-operation on a range of issues, including US efforts to advance Kosovo's integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures.

Kosovo is a very good ally and partner of the United States. We also have important relations with Serbia. We are trying to do everything to be a good partner of Serbia because it works with us within the framework of the process of dialogue mediated by the European Union and which we fully support to achieve a better solution for both countries”, Chollet said when asked about claims that the United States does not treat Serbia as sharply as Kosovo.

Who's Derek Chollette?

US Undersecretary Derek Chollet is an experienced diplomat who advises Secretary Antony Blinken on important foreign policy issues.

He is also the author and co-author of eight books dealing with foreign policy in the United States, and is the winner of many public services-related awards.

Chollet was the leading man in American politics, demanding by Prime Minister Kurti Delay the deadline for license plates.

Derek Chollet became the most vocal U.S. official to ask Kosovo to extend the deadline for license plates, even placing Gabriel Escobarin ʹ senior American representative for the Western Balkans in the shadows.

He had first done Phone rage that he had with Serbia's president, Alexander Vuciq. In his post at Titter, Chollet would have “and America's disappointment with Kosovo's decision not to postpone the decision to targa”.

For the first time, an American official publicly was showing that he had shared disappointment with Kosovo's actions with Serbia. His reaction came just days after the US State Department had expressed “concern and disappointment” with Kosovo's decision not to postpone the decision in question.

Chollet will begin his visit to Pristina today, where he will remain for two days. After that, it is expected to travel towards Belgrade on December 13th, and the next day (December 14th) it will be in Skopje and Sarajevo. His tour of senior US official meetings will end in Brussels on December 16th and 17th, where he will hold meetings with partners from the European Union and NATO representatives. /Periscopi
