This is an opinion Dragomir Andjelkovic, political analyst, on attitude President of the United States, Donald Trump, that the 20-year-old Kosovo conflict was mismanaged, and that it was declared by Richard Grenel, the mediator in the Belgrade-Pristina negotiations, writes Sputnik.

At the same time, Grenel did not specify what Trump meant or when he said it.

Andjelkovic thinks it is Homeless Clearly, in this way, he condemned American policy on this issue, which had been pursued in an earlier period.

“Of course, Washington cannot make a sharp turn to what the then US administration did, but Trump is aware that these are bad frames, and that something needs to be changed. I think his statement is very favorable for us, because it means, at least rhetorically, what the United States did to Serbia with respect to Kosovo “, Andjelković is convinced.

The interlocutor adds that this does not mean that he will America Give up the recognition of Kosovo, because they will never make a discontinuity in relation to their policy, even when it differs radically in relation to the previous administration.

“Therefore, they will not overturn the policy of their predecessors, but we can expect greater understanding from Serbia and the willingness to compromise at some point. But we cannot expect radical movements such as the abandonment of the concept of” independent Kosovo. ” “. ‘!, Andjelković is convinced.

He believes that Trump, when he spoke about the mismanaged conflict, was probably referring to the aggression against the FRY that took place 20 years ago.

“It is clear that the biggest mistake of the United States is certainly that it carried out an aggression against a sovereign state, to occupy a part of its territory. And then it allowed the Islamic fundamentalists to do whatever they wanted. The fundamentalists themselves later became a danger for the United States, because “The largest number of members of the extreme Muslim formations in the Middle East, relative to the number of inhabitants, came from Kosovo. That is his first mistake, “says the interlocutor.

Another mistake relates to the behavior of the United States after taking control of Kosovo, because it did nothing to establish a legal framework.

“That is, they let that area become mafia territory, and finally, they recognized it as a state. Instead of agreeing on a model that would satisfy the Serbs, the division of Kosovo or something else … That’s how they gave the Albanians they wanted it, and now it’s hard for anyone to persuade them to make a commitment, “says Andjelković.
