On the third anniversary of former President Donald Trump's brokered agreement between the Balkan nations of Serbia and Kosovo, the former acting director of the United States National Intelligence, Ric Grenell, said in a statement that the administration of President Joe Biden has allowed the historic pact to come "undone," reigniting tensions in the region.
"Today, on the third Anniversary of the historic Washington Agreement signed in the Oval Office by the governments of Serbia and Kosovo and presided over by President Trump, we're sadly forced to acknowledge that relations between these two friends of America have deteriorated," Grenell's statement said. "More than two and a half years after Donald Trump left the White House, relations between Serbia and Kosovo have suffered under an abandonment of diplomatic, political, and economic leadership from Joe Biden."
The 2020 agreement, mediated by Grenell, was considered a "major breakthrough" in normalizing relations between the rival countries and ending a standoff since Kosovo declared independence in 2008, the Washington Post reported at the time.

Grenell further stated:
"In the last two and a half years, violence between the parties has increased, dependence on NATO troops has grown, and economic prospects — particularly in Kosovo — have weakened," he said in the statement Monday. "The decision by President Biden to cede American diplomatic and economic engagement in the region to the analysis paralysis of the European Union has made things worse, not better."
The Hill reported in June that Serbia had placed its armed forces on "high alert" amid the new tensions and arrested three Kosovan police officers. Kosovo responded by closing the border between the countries.
"No one in Washington, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, needs another source of major insecurity or conflict in Europe," the Atlantic Council's Europe Center Senior Director Jorn Fleck said in the report. "There is real concern about the situation."
Grenell said the agreement envisioned a "shared and growing economic future" between the countries, removing dependency on Russian energy.

"More must be done if we are to see peace and prosperity between Kosovo and Serbia. Sadly, however, Joe Biden and his Administration has made it clear that the Balkans and its people are not their priority," Grenell said in the statement. "It is clear that the people of Kosovo, Serbia and the wider Balkans greatly benefited from Donald Trump's tenure in the White House, and I sincerely hope we will see another Trump Administration to once again make the Balkan region a top priority for the United States."


Commentary:
This is the continuing saga of Joe Biden`s incompetent foreign policies.
Maoist Democrats would claim its just another Biden success story.
Kosovo is one of many areas that the USA is now attempting to widen the Ukraine War.
At one point they were urging Lithuania to blockade Kaliningrad. Then there was the Dugin assassination. Then after Blinken visited, the Kosovo gov’t escalated action against the Serb minority.

Ukraine and Russia got along well during Trump as well. And North and South Korea relations were even thawing.

But Bidenism is based upon stirring up shit, a far cry from the two pillars of the Trump Doctrine , Peace and Prosperity.

The Democrat/Neocon foreign policy is to sow chaos and instability throughout the world.

These people have no intentions of keeping or making peace.

Wouldn't be surprised if the CIA assassinated the woman and blaming it on the Ukraine.
Just how many screw ups can Joey make. I wonder if Afghanistan and the rest of the other foreign policy mistakes are purposely done?

1) Should we act like Trump's agreement would always have worked if only the US president were to actually care?

Kosovo and Serbia economic normalization agreements - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"Under the terms of the agreements signed, for a period of one year, Serbia agreed to suspend its efforts, both official and unofficial, to encourage other states to either not recognize Kosovo or to revoke existing recognition."

So, Trump's agreement was for one year. Did he really expect this to work for the long term?

And all this is, is Serbia not going to other countries and saying "don't support Kosovo"

"In return, Kosovo agreed not to apply for new membership in international organizations for the same time period. "

So, for one year, Kosovo wouldn't apply for membership in the EU or NATO, effectively, and they couldn't get in either anyway.

"Kosovo and Serbia agreed to conduct a joint feasibility study examining different options for connecting the Belgrade-Pristina rail network with a deep seaport on the coast of the Adriatic Sea"

A "feasibility study", I mean, wow.

"They will also operationalize the Merdare administrative crossing point on the border between the two nations."

So, a border crossing would have joined operations...

And some more guff.

Yes, the agreement could help a little to get Kosovo and Serbia a little closer, but let's be frank, Serbia hates Kosovo, doesn't want it to exist. Serbia probably looked at this agreement and said "it's almost pointless, so why not keep the US happy?"

That Serbia and Kosovo are having more problems since this should be no surprise to anyone who knows the history of this conflict. Serbia and Russia are literally the only two countries since WW2 to be aggressive in Europe, they're both Slavs, they both seem to have an aggression problem and they both seem to want to take over other countries surrounding them....

No they didn't. What the hell are you talking about.

Russia literally occupied the Crimea and was conducting warfare in the Donbas region, under the cover of a civil war.....

You call that getting along?

And North Korea and South Korea relations didn't move an inch under Trump. Trump did all the grandstanding, Kim Jong Un loved it, he could get more exposure, after 8 years of Obama trying to ignore him, and Kim took that exposure. Biden ignores him again and he's gone back to the same old tactics of pulling a few pointless stunts to get noticed and remain relevant.

Depends on who paid the 10%; whose interests were best served?
