This afternoon, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, had the pleasure of holding a telephone conversation with the American Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken.
Prime Minister Kurti thanked Secretary Blinken for the continuous and comprehensive support of the USA for the Republic of Kosovo, as well as informed him about Kosovo’s achievements in the fields of economy, democracy and the rule of law.
It was discussed about the dialogue with the office of the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, Josep Borrell for de-escalation and normalization, in which case Prime Minister Kurti informed Secretary Blinken about the bilateral meeting on Thursday of last week, which it did not even become trilateral due to the unwillingness of the president of Serbia.
Prime Minister Kurti and Secretary Blinken talked about the situation in the four northern municipalities of Kosovo, about the new elections that must be preceded by the rule of law, about the violent extremists who attacked KFOR soldiers, the Kosovo Police and journalists, about the three Serbian vice presidents in Leposaviq, Zveçan, north of Mitrovica, for the confiscation of weapons and a lot of ammunition in a car with Belgrade license plates, for the need for full, sequenced and unconditional implementation of the Brussels Basic Agreement, as well as for the release of three policemen of Kosovo kidnapped by Serbia in Leposaviq, but after they were indicted and for which the US State Department first demanded immediate and unconditional release.
Both agreed to remain in regular and dense communication for the purpose of peace and security in Kosovo and towards the normalization of relations with Serbia.
