Pessimistic server: The Balkans are far down on Washington's list of priorities PAMFLETI 3–4 minutes ________________________________
Serbian analyst Dusan Janjic has stated that a document regarding the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia is being prepared in the United States of America. According to him, the information comes from sources close to American political circles and experts. Janjic stressed that this is an unofficial document, similar to what is known as a "non-paper", which, according to him, can serve as a basis for future dialogue. He also mentioned that the US Congress has adopted a law on the Western Balkans, which, according to his interpretation, underlines the necessity of reaching an agreement on mutual recognition between Kosovo and Serbia. Unlike Janjic, American professor Daniel Serwer is skeptical of the claims regarding the preparation of an official document by the US Administration. Serwer emphasizes that in principle anyone can draft a document on any issue, but this does not necessarily mean that it represents official Washington policy. "Anyone can prepare a paper on anything. Dushan probably knows better than I do. I don't see much hope for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue under the current circumstances and leadership ," Serwer told Gazeta Express. He expresses a lack of optimism for a new serious US engagement in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, citing the current political circumstances and the leadership style in Washington. " I would be happy to be surprised. But be careful what you wish for. The current US administration seems more interested in projecting power than in dialogue ," says the Johns Hopkins University professor. Serwer calls on Kosovo authorities to be cautious about expectations from the current US Administration. According to him, this administration seems more focused on projecting political power than on facilitating dialogue. He adds that he would be pleased if he were positively surprised, but he sees no concrete signals of such engagement. According to the Johns Hopkins University professor, the Western Balkans ranks very low on Washington's current list of priorities. He emphasizes that the region is mentioned mainly in declarative contexts, including claims of stopping conflicts, which, according to him, have not actually happened. " The Western Balkans region is very low on Washington's priority list these days. The region is only mentioned when the President wants to brag about ending a war that didn't happen ," Serwer concluded. While Janjic insists on the existence of a document in preparation, there is no official confirmation from US institutions of such an initiative. Serwer's statements suggest that, at least for the moment, there are no clear indications of a new US strategic engagement in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. serwer<https://pamfleti.net/tag/serwer> kosova<https://pamfleti.net/tag/kosova> serbia<https://pamfleti.net/tag/serbia> -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
