WASHINGTON – Serbia will not be approved as a member of the European Union until it recognizes Kosovo, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives, Eliot Engel, said today.
“It is time for Serbia to continue.” Kosovo is independent, it will never come back, “Engel said at the board meeting, to which Daniel Server, Janusz Bugajski and Madeleine Albright, officials and non-governmental advocates of independence from Kosovo.
Engel is not a representative of the EU, but, judging by his appearance in the Committee, he knows what is bothering Serbia on the way to the Union:
“Honestly, blocking the recognition of Kosovo and its UN membership only annoys Serbia, because its entry into the EU will not be approved until it recognizes Kosovo’s independence,” Engel said, Tanjug reports.
The committee is considering strategies that the new US administration led by Joseph Biden could apply to the Western Balkans and Serbia.
According to Eliot, Kosovo has been “independent for ten years” and asks, with pleasure, the so-called Kosovo is now a member of various international organizations and institutions:
“If the clock turns back three decades, it was just a dream. I could not have imagined hearing those words, but today Kosovo has become a member of the World Bank, the IMF and more than 110 countries have recognized its independence, including the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan and many other important countries. ”.
Kosovo, Engel says, has famous pop singers, footballers, caterers, real estate owners … but, he admits, that’s not the end:
“Many serious challenges remain, and the most important thing is that it is time for Serbia to continue.” Kosovo is independent, it will never return. Honestly, by blocking the recognition of Kosovo, its membership in the UN only annoys Serbia, because its entry into the EU will not be approved until it recognizes the independence of Kosovo. I call on Serbia to continue so that all countries in the region can continue, “concluded Engel, who admitted in the introduction that” no country has touched his heart more than Kosovo. “
