Today, I am pleased to announce yet another historic commitment. Serbia and Kosovo have each committed to economic normalization. After a violent and tragic history and years of failed negotiations, my Administration proposed a new way of bridging the divide. By focusing on job creation and economic growth, the two countries were able to reach a real breakthrough on economic cooperation across a broad range of issues.
We have also made additional progress on reaching peace in the Middle East. Kosovo and Israel have agreed to normalization of ties and the establishment of diplomatic relations. Serbia has committed to opening a commercial office in Jerusalem this month and to move its embassy to Jerusalem by July.
It has taken tremendous bravery by President Vučić of Serbia and Prime Minister Hoti of Kosovo to embark on these talks and to come to Washington to finalize these commitments. By doing so, they have made their countries, the Balkans, and the world safer. I look forward to seeing Serbia and Kosovo prosper as we work together on economic cooperation in the region going forward.
If it were anyone but Trump, this would be Nobel Peace Prize material.
Had a relative die in the Croatia - Serbia war, so I’ve paid attention to the area.
Went there in in 84 and saw first hand what living in a socialist utopia/ police state was like.
The progress Trump is making is historic.
Kosovo IS Serbia
That said, great that he made something happen.
Wont last. The Turks will try to muscle in on more territory and the Serbs will do the sensible thing and annhilate them.
God Bless Serbia!
Soros applauds this.
The successful completion of the muslim Albanian takeover of Serbia’s Kosovo.
Disgusting.
