Hill for the Ohrid meeting: Early to give recognition, Association is a test of international seriousness

Hill estimates that the talks are going “in the right direction” while praising that <x2 very many people” view the Serbian Majority Commission Association as a test for “the international community's”. And, yes, I can say they are [seriosis]”, he added.

I think it's going in the right direction, but we have to wait and see because no one's agreed on something yet. I don't want to talk about specific issues and deadlines, I think it's important that issues be resolved, that after 10 years the Association of Serb-run municipalities can finally be formed and that many people see this as a test of how serious the international community is to resolve this issue and I can say they are. All it takes is patience”, Hill said.

Speaking of sanctions against the Russian Federation, the US ambassador estimated it is not too late for Serbia to decide, as “Danas” quoted him as saying.

My “My decision is that Russia is not helping Serbia in any way. They have done nothing to resolve the Kosovo issue, they have done nothing to help economically, not even energy support, Serbia must pay”, the ambassador has said among other things.

We remember that Hill was one of the most vocal American diplomats in terms of the Serbian Majority Association, where, in an interview given to Insider TV in December last year, it was expressed that “be sure there will be no new agreements, without the issue of the Association” resolved.
