According to him, she was more loud than the chief uplink, Borell.
“It is a good thing that she just received the mandate in a few days to hold the meetings, a few days after her visit to Kiev, which confirms that dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia and the situation in the north are high on the list of new EU chief” priorities, he said.
Asked about Calla's messages for the implementation of international agreements, Bieber said the Kosovo side must meet several pledges, including the Association, and also the Serb side.
We have not had any commitment on Serbia's part to implement the Ohrid Agreement, this we should expect to see. The question is what the continuation will be, what will be required to the parties in the sense of re-compliance that Serbia halts Kosovo's co-operation campaign or the blocking of Kosovo in international organisations”, he said.
According to him, the more Vuciqi faces opposition in Serbia, the more protests there are in Serbia, will most likely the government in Serbia will cause more trouble in Kosovo to distract attention.
Asked whether the US will have a more proactive role in the dialogue process, he said he does not see a clear sign yet in terms of Trump administration interest in the Balkans.
Bieber called it good news that Green didn't become Secretary of State.
“Grrenelli has not been named Secretary of State, and I believe that it is extremely good news for Kosovo and the Balkans. His role has been very destructive, very negative”, he said.
“When Trump president was we have had many discussions also about the exchange of territories that has been dangerous and would only harm Kosovo and lead only to more tensions in the region. I hope this does not rise as an idea in Trump” Administration, Bieber said at RTK.
