US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien welcomed European Union (EU) Special Representative Miroslav Lajcak’s meetings with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, and reiterated what is expected of them.

I welcome Miroslav Lajcak’s visits with Kurti and Vucic. The US strongly supports the EU-facilitated dialogue. Needed is the full implementation of agreements, including the establishment of the Association of Serb Municipalities, O’Brien said in a post on X.

New local elections in Kosovo’s north should go forward, there should be coordination before implementing new currency regulations, while Serbia must hold accountable those involved in Banjska attack, O’Brien wrote.
