Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selaković noted that the US Embassy in Serbia made an unusual mistake by placing an equal sign between the congratulations sent to Serbia on the occasion of Statehood Day by Presidents Donald Trump and Joseph Biden.
“The normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, as seen by President Donald Trump in his congratulatory message last year, and the subject of so-called mutual recognition mentioned by President Biden do not mean the same formally or materially, not even roughly the same, “the scripture says. Selakovic said.
Selakovic recalled that during the signing of the Washington Agreement, President Donald Trump was very willing to listen to and respect the opinion of Serbia, and to recognize it as a factor of stability and the engine of democratic and economic development of the entire region, without entering into the question. of the so-called mutual recognition.
According to him, President Trump not only did not insist on the so-called mutual recognition of Belgrade and Pristina, but was inclined to start looking for innovative solutions together with Serbia, which would really stabilize the region.
In the congratulations we receive from President Biden, that kind of spirit is not recognized, which does not mean that the new American president, as a man who knows the situation in the Western Balkans very well, is not in favor of a compromise. between Belgrade and Pristina, “which obviously cannot stabilize the region permanently,” Selaković said.
A statement by James Hagengruber, spokesman for the United States Embassy in Belgrade, said today that “The United States continues to share Serbia’s main foreign policy objective of joining the EU under former President Donald Trump and current President. Joseph Biden, while normalizing relations with base Pristina, long recognized as the key to achieving that goal. “
