This, according to Reeker, applies even when it comes to dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia. The American diplomat, well acquainted with the region and Kosovo, has said there is a dialogue led by the European Union and that negotiations are already mediating a brilliant diplomat like Peter Sorensen.
Whatever we've seen with President Trump's arrival is, first of all, that America is the first, its transactional focus, and there are many other challenges in the world in which the president and secretary of state should focus. Our embassies are here, they will remain engaged. When it comes to the Kosovo issue, there was something called dialogue. He still exists. I participated in it, supporting EU efforts. This is Europe. The EU has made great efforts and continues to do so. Peter Sorensen is an extremely good diplomat who I think will give you every opportunity to work on it. You have a choice. You have agreements that have been made and not kept. You work for this. Make your own decision. What kind of future you want”, Reeker said of Kosovo Online, broadcast Express.
When asked about the lack of results in dialogue, Reeker says it's not US fault and Washington has nothing to do with it. He said that in diplomacy, he either respects the agreements made or proposes new ideas and that you can rely on others who do everything for you.
It's not U.S. fault, it's your fault and we need to consider what to do. If an agreement is reached, it should be respected. Or we could come up with other ideas. This is diplomacy. You cannot rely on others to do anything for you. The U.S. have been involved for many years and we're not leaving, we're just saying we have other priorities”, Reeker said. /Periscope/
