Periskopi(3 years ago)
(3 years ago)The United States has sent Special Adviser Derek Chollet to the region, which is staying in Kosovo on Wednesday. Chollet will have separate meetings with President Osmani, Prime Minister Kurti and opposition leaders. But what is the role of this American diplomat? According to explanations on the official page of the American State Department [...]
According to explanations on the official website of the US State Department Adviser of the US State Department is a state secretary-level official who serves as secretary's adviser on specific issues.
The department's “Adviser is a key undersecretary-level officer who serves the Secretary as a special adviser and consultant for major foreign policy problems and gives instructions to relevant offices on such issues. The adviser conducts separate international negotiations and consultations, as well as receives special tasks from time to time, according to the guidelines of Secretary”, the Special Adviser's work description said.
Cholls have made several phone calls with Prime Minister Kurti in recent months, while he has once waited in the US.
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq, last Saturday, spoke about the meeting with Chollet in Belgrade. The American diplomat in the Serbian capital will stay tomorrow.
Vuciq, in his style, introduced Cholles as an important person to discuss matters of importance.
Besides, it's taken a little bit with his profile, probably getting a little confused.
He doesn't have anyone giving orders to the State Emergency Department, maybe only Jack Sullivan. It's about a very important man”.
Otherwise, besides Osman Kurt, Chollet will have meetings with opposition as well. Along with emissar Gabriel Escobar and Ambassador Jeff Hovenier will meet PDK leader Memli Krasniqi, LDK chief Lumir Abdijxhiku and AAK head Ramush Haradinaj.
