The American analyst, Daniel Serwer, asks the European Union to remove the punitive measures against Kosovo, while emphasizing the need for those responsible for last year’s terrorist attack in Banjska i Zveçan to be brought to justice as soon as possible. In addition to these, he declares that Kosovo-USA relations are in a difficult time, but adds that nothing has changed in terms of the goals for the independence and sovereignty of Kosovo.
The American connoisseur of the political circumstances in the Western Balkans tells KosovaPress that within the reformation of the dialogue, it is necessary to go more towards approximations in practical matters on the ground, than towards political normalization.

The American professor considers it necessary to remove punitive measures against Kosovo.
Speaking about last year’s terrorist attack in Banjska in Zveçan, Serveri says that the person responsible for this attack, Milan Radoicic, should be handed over to the justice authorities in Kosovo.
As for Kosovo-USA relations, the American analyst says that the circumstances were a bit difficult at this time, but as he declares, nothing has changed from the American objectives for the independence and sovereignty of Kosovo.
