Serbia expects Palmer to influence US-controlled separatists
Serbia's main expectation from New US Special Representative for the Balkans Matthew Palmer – influence on Albanian separatists controlled by Washington in order to lift the economic blockade of the Serbian enclaves of Kosovo.
This was stated by Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, expressing confidence that the new appointment indicates the Americans’ desire to unfreeze the negotiation process between Pristina and Belgrade.
“The key question is whether pressure will be put on Pristina to remove the tariffs,” the minister said.
He added that the development of the situation also largely “depends on the elections in Pristina.” “Everyone promises from Pristina that they will cancel duties (for goods from Serbia, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, - ed.), as soon as the elections are over,” Dacic recalled.
Let us recall that the United States is demanding recognition of Kosovo from Serbia, promising in return the prospect of both Belgrade and Pristina joining the European Union in the indefinite future.
