The tense Kosovo-Serbia situation, Bolton: The Real Threat From Moscow

John Bolton, former US national security adviser, has spoken about the tense situation between Kosovo and Serbia.

Invited to Euronews Albania, he said the real threat we all face is from the government to Moscow.

He further added that the disputes they have need to be brought under control so that the US and EU and other states focus on the war in Ukraine.

“From outside, it seems that we have lost the opportunity to resolve the apparent friction between Serbia and Kosovo with diplomacy. Many have tried for some time in this regard. I don't know what caused the last explosion. I'm sure the reasons are complex, but I think that in Europe's perspective as a whole and the United States, given the war in Ukraine, it's not where tensions elsewhere on the European continent, in the Balkans or elsewhere should be allowed to explode”.

At least, we need to remember that the real threat we all face is from the government in Moscow, the friction and disagreements we have, which are numerous, should be put under close control for all to focus on a satisfactory end to the war in Ukraine”. He said.

Bolton, commented Albanian government leader Edi Rama's proposal for the high-level conference called by France and Germany, supported by the European Union and the United States for the tense Kosovo-Serbia situation.

He added that the more sides involved in negotiations, the harder it will be to reach the agreement.

I think that the more parties get involved in negotiations, the harder it will be to reach the agreement, but there is a tradition in the United States, Chicago Mayor Mer Daley, when he faced a possible teacher strike, he closed the Education Board in a room with teachers' unions and said: “you will not go out without reaching a”3>.

“Scrolled. But, I think if there are many outsiders commenting on it as if it were a sporting event for the performance of the negotiations, there would be no desirable result, it would be better for Kosovo and Serbia to be represented on an island perhaps in the Aegean, without many spectators around”, he said.
