(3 years ago)US Ambassador to Pristina Jeff Hovenier, in an interview for “Atlantic Council” has talked about the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. Hovenier has said that for the US it is a closed issue if the Bazic Agreement, Anex and preliminary agreements are binding. “For the US, the question of whether these issues are binding for Kosovo and Serbia is committed.

For the US, the question of whether these issues are binding for Kosovo and Serbia is committed. It was said at the time that the Basic Agreement was reached, it was said of the Implementation Annex and all the approved precautions, that these are the obligations the two states entered”, the US ambassador said.
He has said the Basic Agreement is included in the conclusions of one of the Council of the European Union meetings, and that such an act is small, reports Express.
“The EU has included the text of the Bazic Agreement in the conclusions of one of the EU Council meetings, and this is a big thing”, the US diplomat has been posting.
He has also talked about Prime Minister Albin Kurti's request to sign the agreements. Hovenier says they understand Kurt's desire to be more confident that Serbia has entered those obligations, until it repeats the US's position and that it is that Serbia has entered into obligation, as has Kosovo.
“We understand the prime minister's will, to have greater security from his perspective, that Serbia has entered these obligations. I can tell you what our position is, and it's that Serbia has entered these obligations and made a promise to do as Kosovo has done”, has added further Havener.
The American ambassador has said they see little distraction in the work of signing, instead of moving forward with the implementation and execution of Kosovo and Serbia. Hovnier says that something like that has been said by Scholz, Macron and Mellon in their stay after meetings in Brussels, however, says they have used a different term for signing, saying that “s must be stuck in formalities”, Express writes.
And we think it's a little distracting, rather than moving forward with implementation and execution from both sides. And that's not just the U.S. stand. In Sholz's stance, Melon and Macron, they talked about the importance of moving forward and not getting caught in matters, they used a different term for signing, formalities I believe said, and that remains our”, Jeff Havener said among other things.
