Figures from Britain and the US state their opposition to a ‘Belgrade-centred policy for the Balkans’ amid continued tensions
The West is failing to protect Kosovo from Serbian and Russian aggression because of its naive and biased policies, senior politicians from Britain and the US have warned.
In a letter shared with The Telegraph, they said that the West’s approach to nation-building in Kosovo was “flawed” and will leave its Balkan ally vulnerable.
“Kosovo is a sovereign country and functioning democracy,” the 54 politicians said. “Attempts to disrupt democratic elections in Kosovo by Serbia must be criticised publicly as foreign interference.”
The letter was addressed to James Cleverly, UK Foreign Minister, Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, and Josep Borrell, the EU’s foreign affairs chief.
