The top American diplomat concluded his visit to the Balkans while in Belgrade on Thursday. The Americans were blunt with Vucic at the meeting, where they demanded that Serbia join sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine.
"We believe that Serbia must fulfill its destiny and cannot move forward until it abides by the sanctions. We are discussing this openly," said the American diplomat.
Asked by journalists about the "Wagner" paramilitary unit, reported to have been seen in the north of Kosovo during the riots with the barricades, Derek Chollet said that the Americans were very concerned about this. He added that the Wagner Group is recruiting soldiers in Serbia for the war in Ukraine.
The senior adviser of the State Department was earlier in Pristina where he met the main authorities. He demanded that Kosovo take the steps to create the Association, but without creating a second Republika Srpska in the Balkans.
The senior American diplomat started his meeting in the Balkans, in Skopje. The focus was on the energy crisis, the fight against corruption, as well as the impasse with Bulgaria regarding the country's European integration.
"Financial Times" devoted a long interview to the American diplomat to talk about the problems in the Balkans. He spoke about an agreement based on mutual recognition, which is based on the Franco-German plan.
