Escobar: Three years since there are high-level meetings of Kosovo representatives with the US administration

The United States' Emisari for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Gabriel Escobar, has been asked about the refusal Prime Minister Albin Kurti has made on the dinar use issue, and how this rejection will affect reports between Kosovo and the US. He also mentions that now is the year [...]

He also mentions the fact that now is the second year that there has been no meeting among anyone in the Government of Kosovo with anyone in the American administration.

Escobar said relations between countries are based not only on common interests but also on common values.
In an interview for Radio Free EuropeEscobar said commitment to human rights is important, while adding that this should be a wake-up call for the prime minister and his Government on where this relationship is going.

Well, you know, our relationships are based, almost always, not only on common interests, but on common values. And one of those common values is commitment to human rights. So, the fact that the most pro-Kosovo government in the world and the most pro-American government in the world, so the United States and Kosovo, are having this difficulty, is not due to our policies towards Russia or Ukraine or China, is due to the treatment of minorities. So this must be a wake-up call for the prime minister and his Government to where this relationship is going”, the American emissary declared.

Escobar said further that it is now the second year that there has been no meeting among anyone in the Government of Kosovo with anyone in the American administration.

No... I mean, the fact is that we're trying to help him take care of his citizens. I mean, we're almost at a point where we're trying hard to work with. Now, the question is not whether there will be measures, but there are obviously consequences. We're going into the second year, maybe even in the third year, and there's never been a high-level meeting between anyone in the Government of Kosovo with anyone in the American administration. So this should also be an indication for people where the” relationship is, he said.
