Zogiane has distributed news titled “Beden proposing Gabriel Escobar”'s successor.
In fact, the news Zogiani has spread is incorrect because President Biden has nominated an official for the state secretary's assistant position, not for Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.
It's James O'Brien who, if confirmed in the Senate, will assume the position left by the vakanes after Karen Donfreed left. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs covers the Balkans as well as Kosovo.
Escobar is Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and from this position and that of Emissar for the Balkans also covers Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.
Escobar is an unpopular figure especially in the Vetevendosje ranks because of its commitment to dialogue, which requires that we also use diplomatic pressure to reach Kosovo-Serbia agreements.
Due to continued insistence on Association, he has made strong statements against Kurt, and therefore has often been the target of attacks even close to power journalists just because he served as a diplomat at the US Embassy in Serbia. This may have prompted Zogiane to announce Escobar's replacement from O'Brien.
