Richard Mei, spokesperson to the US Embassy in Kosovo, told online media
Koha.net that cancellation of General Orr’s visit has to do with the
Government’s decision to impose tariffs on goods from Serbia and
Bosnia-Herzegovina.

“We can confirm that the visit of General Orr has been cancelled related to
tariffs on goods from Serbia and Bosnia. We have no other comment on future
visits or planned training,” Mei said.  

Media reported over the weakened that the US embassy officials informed
Kosovo Security Forces commander, Rahman Rama, that the general’s visit had
been cancelled. The visit was originally planned for February 16-18 on the
11th anniversary of the declaration of Kosovo’s independence, the Koha
portal reported. Rama later sent a letter to Kosovo President Hashim Thaci
saying that he had been informed at a meeting with the US military attaché
that General Orr’s visit had been cancelled “to express dissatisfaction with
the decision taken by the Kosovo government”. Rama said he had been told
that training, education and military visits would be cancelled in future
unless the government reviews its decision.
