United States backs dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina

U.S. Ambassador Michael Kirby said on Friday that the U.S. supported the Belgrade-Priština dialogue and voiced confidence that an agreement could be reached.

“The Serbian government has been putting great efforts in an attempt to achieve an agreement with Priština, and I am optimistic that an agreement could be reached and that Serbia could continue to advance toward EU membership,” Kirby told reporters in the Serbian parliament.

“The U.S. supports an agreement between Priština and Belgrade,” he said once again, adding that “any agreement requires an agreement of both parties, not just one.”
