SCOOP: Sources tell The Pavlovic Today that Richard Grenell, former Special Presidential Envoy for Serbia and Kosovo, “may hold a press conference tomorrow on the failure of the Brussels talks between Kosovo and Serbia.”
The news comes as today’s EU-led talks in Brussels between Kosovo and Serbia again reached stalemate.
According to the sources The Pavlovic Today spoke to, Kosovo’s PM Albin Kurti “rejected any compromise.”
Earlier today, Grenell said that “Albin Kurti has rejected every idea that US Presidents have given Kosovo. Both Democrat & Republican Presidents.”
“This is just a fact,” remarked Grenell.
During the Trump presidency, before Albin Kurti lost the election and was replaced by PM Avdullah Hoti, Kurt initially resisted the efforts led by then Special Presidential Envoy for Serbia and Kosovo Peace Negotiations Richard Grenell to make an agreement with Serbia towards peace.
After Kurti left power, a historic breakthrough in brokering the peace agreement between the Serbs and Kosovo Albanians materialized in September 2020 through an Economic Normalization Agreement signed at the White House by Kosovo’s Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
This is a developing story. More details to follow as we learn more.
