Escobar: I hope the US can work with Kosovo to lift EU sanctions in 2024

Escobar has declared that he hopes the US could work with Kosovo to find a way to remove those measures in 2024.

According to Escobar, if Kosovo does not engage with the European Union, it will affect the integration process.

“I wouldn't say mass. I'd say consequences. Now, I tell you that the consequences that Kosovo faces, if they refuse to engage with the European Union, the European Union will not engage in additional assistance and additional measures for integration. See, I think these measures are having an impact on Kosovo and Kosovo's economy. I hope that at least bilaterally, the United States can work with Kosovo to find a way to remove those measures in 2024. So, we will continue to work with Kosovo to draw it closer to the European Union. But we would like to see a political will and movement in that direction, also”, has declared Escobar in an interview for Radio Free Europe.

Asked whether there is a deadline for removing these measures, Escobar has said that <x0jo”, as according to him, “these measures are indefinite until there is a movement towards progress both in [the Ohrid Agreement] and in a concession plan.”
