VAŠINGTON -Sjedinjene Američke Države ponovo su danas pozvale kosovske lidere da u potpunosti ukinu takse na robu iz Srbije, što je navedeno u zajedničkom saopštenju specijalnog izaslanika za dijalog Beograda i Prištine Ričarda Grenela, ambasadora Filipa Kosneta u Prištini i specijalnog predstavnika za zapadni Balkan Metjua Palmera. SAD stoje uz građane Kosova, pohvaljuju kontinuirane napore zdravstvenih stručnjaka i drugih koji rade uz veliki rizik na smanjenju širenja Kovid-19 na Kosovu i pozivaju kosovske lidere da poštuju kosovski ustav i vladavinu prava. Posvećeni smo radu sa bilo kojom vladom formiranom kroz ustavni proces", poručila su trojica diplomata. Kad je reč o taksama ponavljaju stav da one nanose štetu svim ljudima na Kosovu čime ometaju regionalnu saradnju u borbi protiv Kovid-19, uključujući odlaganje ulaska neophodne robe. Istovremeno, trojica diplomata napominju da nema tajnog plana o razmeni teritorija između Kosova i Srbije, kao što su neki spekulisali. Specijalni izaslanik predsednika Ričard Grenel nikad nije video, ni razgovarao o takvom planu", navodi se u saopštenju Američka vlada fokusira se na podršci nedavnim dogovorima o ponovnom uspostavljanju vazdušnih, železničkih i drumskih veza između Kosova i Srbije sa ciljem da se poboljša ekonomija i stvori ekonomski zamajac. "Verujemo da će taj zamajac dati novu energiju procesu dijaloga koji će dovesti do uzajamnog priznanja", zaključuje se u zajedničkom saopštenju. (Tanjug) Joint Statement of Special Presidential Envoy Richard Grenell, Ambassador Philip Kosnett, and Special Representative for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer on Kosovo MEDIA NOTE OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON MARCH 26, 2020 The United States stands with the people of Kosovo. We commend the continued efforts of the health professionals and others who are working hard, at great risk, to reduce the progress of COVID-19 in Kosovo. In this time of uncertainty, we urge Kosovo’s leaders to follow Kosovo’s Constitution and the rule of law. We are committed to working with any government formed through the constitutional process. In addition, we continue to urge Kosovo’s leaders to lift the tariffs completely. We believe the tariffs are harming the people of Kosovo by hindering regional cooperation against COVID-19 – including by delaying the entry into Kosovo of needed supplies – and hindering economic growth. We want to make clear there is no secret plan for land swaps between Kosovo and Serbia, as some have speculated. Special Presidential Envoy Richard Grenell has never seen nor discussed such a plan. The U.S. Government’s focus on supporting the recent agreements to re-establish air, rail, and highway connections between Kosovo and Serbia aims to improve the economy and create economic momentum. We believe this momentum will give new energy to a dialogue process that would lead to mutual recognition.
