U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Gabriel Escobar has addressed Serbs in an interview with N1, advising them to forget that Kosovo is Serbia.
He said that he attended the talks in order to send a message that the process of solving the dispute between Kosovo and Serbia is of great importance for the entire Euro-Atlantic community.
“I would like to state: after today there is reason for optimism. I would say that the things we are talking about now are actually minor issues within the general framework of the negotiations. <…> I think it is time for us to forget the narrative that Kosovo is Serbia and move to the narrative that Kosovo and Serbia are Europe,” Escobar said.
According to the diplomat, there is hope that “there will be no aggravation in the province,” adding that the region should “resolve the contentious issues sooner” for the sake of unification and a brighter future.
