Locking down parallel structures, US Embassy: Today's actions of the Government of Kosovo can undermine Euro-Atlantic future

In a response to Gazeta Express from the US Embassy in Pristina, they have said that today's actions by the Government of Kosovo to close Serbia's parallel institutions in several Kosovo municipalities directly and negatively affect the ethnic Serb citizens of Kosovo and other communities and may undermine Kosovo's aspirations to join the Euro-Atlantic community.

The Kosovo Government's <x0) actions to close Serbia-led institutions directly and negatively influence Kosovo's citizens -- ethnic Serbs and other communities -- and could undermine Kosovo's aspirations to join the Euro-Atlantic community”, a spokesman for the US Embassy in Pristina for Express has told Express.

This American Embassy spokesman has now said these actions were against American councils, and as such weakens confidence and limits US opportunities to help Kosovo for a better future.

These actions, against our best advice, weaken trust in relations and limit our ability to help Kosovo ensure better and brighter future for all its people. We're continuing to monitor the situation.
