Following the joint visit last week of US diplomat Escobar and European envoy Lajcak, the British envoy to the Balkans, Sir Stuart Peach, held talks in Kosovo and Serbia.

In the last two weeks, there has been an intensification of the visits of Western diplomats to Kosovo and Serbia to push forward the already suspended dialogue, to reach a final agreement between the two countries.

After the visits of the US Chargé d’Affaires for the Balkans Gabriel Escobar and the European Commissioner for Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, Kosovo was visited by the British Ambassador to the Western Balkans, Sir Stuart Peach, who discussed with the heads of Kosovo institutions for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.

The meeting was behind closed doors, so the British diplomat did not speak to the media, while President Vjosa Osmani, in a statement said that Kosovo is committed to dialogue, as a process focused on mutual recognition and that this process, according to her, “should treat the parties equally ”.

“The Kosovar side is constructive in the dialogue and that Serbia is causing obstructions by not implementing the signed agreements”, it is said in a statement of the presidency and in this context is said that the President mentioned the negative influence of Russia in the region as an open trend for the destabilization of the region ”.

President Osmani stated that “The United Kingdom is among our key allies, with a key role in the process of liberation, independence and state-building of Kosovo. The greater the role of this state in the important processes of our region, the greater and more useful the results will be for our citizens.”
