Ambassador Jeffrey M. Hovenier said the U.S. expected Kosovo to ‘follow through on its obligations,’ describing the formation of the association as ‘critical, important and urgent’
The United States ambassador to Kosovo on Tuesday urged Pristina to press ahead with forming an association of Serb municipalities and help complete an EU-brokered peace deal with its former master, Serbia.
The biggest opponent remains Prime Minister Albin Kurti, who says such a body would create a mini state within Kosovo and effectively partition the country along ethnic lines, similar to Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina. “We strictly oppose the creation of any entity resembling Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” he added.
Last week European Union, U.S., German, French and Italian envoys met leaders of both countries to try to convince them to sign an 11-point deal meant to defuse tensions lingering since their 1998-99 conflict.
