After his visit to Sarajevo, the director of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) William Burns went to Belgrade, as he arrived in Kosovo today.
Burns arrived in the capital of Sarajevo on August 20, where he met with colleagues from the intelligence community, members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as that country's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
They discussed issues of mutual interest, including the territorial integrity and sovereignty of BiH, but also "the disturbing separatist rhetoric and actions of Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and the Government of Republika Srpska," as a US government official told N1 Sarajevo.
Shortly after the visit to Sarajevo, the media reported that the CIA's top man was heading to Belgrade. He went to the Serbian capital. As reported by "Danas" and "N1", the visit was provided by the Security and Information Agency (BIA), headed by Vladimir Orlić.
The fact that he went to Kosovo today is related to the risk of rekindling tensions in the region. Russia is stirring up tensions and bringing the CIA into play proves that something big is brewing. Either the US is aware of some covert move, or is taking precautions.
This long-serving diplomat was nominated to head the CIA by current US President Joseph Biden in 2021 and was unanimously elected by the Senate.
“ Bill Burns is an exceptional diplomat with decades of experience on the world stage in keeping our country safe and secure. "He shares my deep belief that the intelligence service should be apolitical and that the dedicated intelligence professionals who serve our nation deserve recognition and respect," Biden said at the time , "Danas reports."

He retired from the US diplomatic service in 2014, after a 32-year career. From 2014 to 2021, he was president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
