Ambassador Hovenier: Thanks for joining me. I know theres a lot of interest in how the United States is seeing the current situation in the North, and I wanted to speak to that. So we are deeply concerned about the situation in the north right now. We believe this to be a crisis that was unnecessary. This was a crisis that from our perspective, was unnecessary. The operation that took place on Friday to obtain access to municipal buildings through forcible means was not coordinated with the United States. When we became aware of it, we advised strongly against it, because we anticipated consequences that we are now seeing.
We believe it has been a reputationalits had negative reputational impacts for Kosovo
Citat:
I have to say that at this moment of time, we have asked Prime Minister Kurti very directly to take immediate steps to achieve a de-escalation in the North. He has not been responsive to those requests. So we are considering what our other actions will be.
I would have to say that this moment in time you wont find a lot of enthusiasm on the part of the United States to respond to some of Kosovos other interests, such as engaging with non-recognizers or working actively to advance Kosovos European or Euro-Atlantic trajectory.
Citat:
We are on the record that these mayors have an important role to play with regard to administration. But this is not a normal arrangement and they do not have a strong mandate from their electorate to do a large initiative. So, we dont understand why theres an insistence on them working from municipal buildings and then we believe that the presence of the Kosovo Police, which was obtained through force, is incredibly challenging. And so we have asked the Government to withdraw the Kosovo Police from the three municipal buildings. We think that would de-escalate.

Question: So does Serbias decision to pose forces on the border to, in full state of combat readiness, pose a threat to Kosovo?
Ambassador Hovenier: Well, its never a good sign when neighboring countries that have a tense relationship mobilize their forces. But I would say at this moment in time, what we are concerned about are the actions taken by the Government of Kosovo that have created this crisis atmosphere in the north, and thats what were asking to be addressed.
Angende dem skadade NATO soldaterna. ven det skyller han p albanerna:
Citat:
We are deeply distraught and concerned by the actions that took place that resulted in the wounding, and in some cases, serious wounding of these soldiers. I condemned it yesterday, as did all my Quint colleagues, I believe. But that does not negate the fact that the reason the soldiers were there, needing to keep the peace in that scenario, was because of the decision taken by Prime Minister Kurti to seek to obtain access to these three municipal buildings through forceful means. And thats the thing that needs to be addressed with regard to a de-escalation, which is what we are asking take place
