So, I want to be clear that the current 11 points, they are not negotiating”, he said, the KP reports.

According to the American ambassador, the EU's plan for dialogue does not contain de-jure recognition between the two countries, but mutual recognition should occur in the final, legally binding agreement.

The United States has expressed a vision for Kosovo that I believe the people of Kosovo agree, and this is that Kosovo is increasingly taking its place in the European family and being integrated into European and Atlantic structures, including NATO. And our vision for Kosovo on the long-term plan is very direct, we believe that Kosovo should be, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation one day, and it is only a question of how you will meet the conditions in the right way to achieve this”, said Havener.
