The American Undersecretary of State for Diplomacy and Public Affairs, Elizabeth Allen, has spoken about the meeting with the American troops at Camp Nothing Hill in the north of Kosovo.
In this context, Allen underlined that the United States of America is talking with the Government of Kosovo and Serbia about ways to reduce tensions in the north of the country.
“It was a pleasure to visit and I am really grateful to the American troops who enabled me to see the northern area of Kosovo by helicopter. Of course, we are deeply committed to the security of northern Kosovo. We are working both with the government here and we are talking with the government of Serbia about ways to reduce tensions; how to increase regional integration; about the ways to first of all take into account the safety of the people and that’s why I was grateful for the opportunity to see the country”, said Allen.
Asked if there is a difference in American demands towards official Pristina and Belgrade in relation to the dialogue, Allen said that the United States has relations with both countries.
“When we talk to our counterparts in each country, we talk about areas where there is progress and areas where there can be more progress. We did this in Serbia, just as we are doing it here in Kosovo. Of course, maintaining relations with both countries only brings better opportunities for integration in the future,” said Allen.
