Dacic: Palmer's appointment shows US wants regional peace Author: Beta 2 minutes _____ According to Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, Matthew Palmer's appointment as US' special representative for the Western Balkans is no surprise and that it shows the US' wich to build regional peace and stability in the Western Balkans. Speaking for the Radio Television of Serbia, he said some other countries like Germany also have the function of the Western Balkans special representative. "It only meant that the US wants to formalise what they've been saying about encouraging faster solutions to regional issues and for all sides to start building regional peace and stability. Whether they succeed or not, depends on their key topics and the pressure on Kosovo to abolish tariffs," Dacic said. He said that Palmer knows the situation in the Balkans well and that he is married to a Belgrade woman, but added that he does not know whether that could be an advantage or a disadvantage for Serbia, because he would have to prove he is not biased to any side. Dacic said the appointment of a special envoy is a confirmation of everything he said before, adding that the US administration had changed its earlier position on Kosovo and that it now believes the issue has not been resolved and needs to be addressed. "Why would they appoint a special envoy if the situation was resolved," Dacic said. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
