"Serbs in Kosovo should live safely", Escobar: The Kurti government is responsible, an immediate solution is needed

Serbs in Kosovo should live safely and with dignity, according to the US envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar.

On the second day of his visit to Kosovo, from Peja, Escobar stated that Serbs are suffering for receiving their pensions and stressed the need to find an immediate solution.

"I wanted to come to this country to hear the first-hand stories that people have about the impact that the CBK decision is having. It is hard to listen to these stories and not be moved. Here is a community that is suffering. There are people who are facing real difficulties due to the lack of options for receiving pensions. So, I really want to work with the Government in the hope that we can find an immediate solution", said Escobar.

According to him, the Serbs in Kosovo should feel the support of the USA.

"For the community here, I want them to feel and know that the American government wants Serbs to live in Kosovo in conditions of safety and dignity, and we will continue to work for this. And for the Government of Kosovo - they have the responsibility for this to happen and we will hold them responsible for this", underlined Escobar.

Also, Escobar said that the last Kosovo-Serbia agreement must be implemented and that work will continue on this.

"Meanwhile, in the long term, we must work hard to implement the historic agreement on normalization that we reached in March last year. So, we will continue to work, but in the meantime, I think that all the people of Kosovo can count on American support, including Albanians, Serbs, Bosniaks, everyone who lives in this country. I hope they feel the American support and the American partnership".
