Hill: Having interests in Serbia does not mean we oppose Kosovo

In a Radio Free Europe question on the issue, Hill answered that the fact that the US has interests in Serbia does not mean it opposes Kosovo.

My “Thing is to act the way the US government wants issues to be addressed. We have many interests in Serbia that have nothing to do with Kosovo. Serbia has helped on the Ukraine issue and we want this co-operation to continue. But the fact that we are trying to manage some of our interests with Serbia does not mean that we are against Kosovo. We also have many interests in Kosovo”, he said.

He said great powers are not interested in choosing among states, while praising the EU's approach.

Therefore, I would be careful with the idea that great powers are choosing between countries. We're not interested in that. We want the situation to calm down. We think that the approach of the European Union was fair and we would like this approach to be followed”, Hill said. /Periscope/
