“The United States stands with the people of Kosovo.\u00a0 We commend the continued efforts of the health professionals and others who are working hard, at great risk, to reduce the progress of COVID-19 in Kosovo.\u00a0 In this time of uncertainty, we urge Kosovo\u2019s leaders to follow Kosovo\u2019s Constitution and the rule of law.\u00a0 We are committed to working with any government formed through the constitutional process,”reads the issued statement.<\/p>\n
“In addition, we continue to urge Kosovo\u2019s leaders to lift the tariffs completely.\u00a0 We believe the tariffs are harming the people of Kosovo by hindering regional cooperation against COVID-19 \u2013 including by delaying the entry into Kosovo of needed supplies \u2013 and hindering economic growth. We want to make clear there is no secret plan for land swaps between Kosovo and Serbia, as some have speculated. Special Presidential Envoy Richard Grenell has never seen nor discussed such a plan.\u00a0 The U.S. Government\u2019s focus on supporting the recent agreements to re-establish air, rail, and highway connections between Kosovo and Serbia aims to improve the economy and create economic momentum.\u00a0 We believe this momentum will give new energy to a dialogue process that would lead to mutual recognition,” concludes the issued statement.<\/p>\n
