US Ambassador in Pristina Jeff Hovenier said on Tuesday that his country is not 
neutral towards Kosovo. 

„We are not neutral. We made the decision in 2008. We support Kosovo as an 
independent democratic, sovereign state,” he told Pristina’s Kanal 10 TV.

He said that the US would have to be neutral if it were a facilitator or 
negotiator as the European Union is in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue but added 
that it is not in that role. According to Hovenier, the Belgrade-Pristina 
Dialogue will result in Kosovo’s integration into European and Euro-Atlantic 
structures.

He said the process should be EU-led to ensures that all agreements, reforms 
and processes are in line with European standards. “Your destiny is as part of 
the European Union and not as the 51st state of the United States of America,” 
he said adding that Washington will support the EU efforts to normalize 
Belgrade-Pristina relations.

The ambassador said that the US urged the Kosovo government to implement its 
obligation under the Basic Agreement.
