Kosovo president, Hashim Thaci, has commended US President, Donald Trump, on the attention his administration is paying to disagreements between Kosovo and Serbia. Thaci in an interview with T7 program ‘A Show’ said Trump’s special envoy on Kosovo Serbia dialogue, Richard Grenell, is doing “great job.”

US Ambassador to Germany and Trump’s envoy on dialogue brokered last month two important deals between Pristina and Belgrade on restoring air and railway link between Kosovo and Serbia. “What others did not manage in 20 years, Grenell achieved in months,” Thaci said, while criticized the European Union for betraying Kosovo. “Kosovo is betrayed by the EU, especially when it comes to visa liberalization,” Thaci said. Kosovo President accused the EU on “absolutely unnecessary prejudice in relation to accomplishments of Kosovo.”

“Kosovo has met all obligations and fulfilled standards on visa liberalization. The EU is unjustly punishing Kosovo citizens,” Thaci said. /GazetaExpress/
