Washington's envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, said that he had a good and open conversation with Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
After the meeting held in the Government of Kosovo, the American emissary declared to the media on March 14 that Kurti has promised to consider some of his proposals related to the issue of banning the use of the Serbian dinar.
Escobar started his visit to Kosovo a day earlier, when he met with the president Vjosa Osmani, with the leaders of the opposition parties and with the political representatives of the Serbs in Kosovo.
After the meeting with Osmani, the American emissary called on Kosovo and Serbia to implement all the agreements reached in the dialogue.
Meanwhile, after their meeting with the American emissary, some Serbian politicians expressed "encouragement" with the US approach to some recent decisions of the Government of Kosovo and said that they received guarantees from him for solutions "in favor of the Serbian community ".
Before the visit to Kosovo, Escobar declared that the implementation of the decision of the Kosovo authorities to stop the use of the Serbian dinar was "incompetent" and "catastrophic".
The regulation of the Central Bank of Kosovo, which entered into force on February 1, foresees the euro as the only currency for payments in Kosovo.
The Serbian state allocates millions of euros to Serbs in Kosovo after paying them in dinars through a parallel system for salaries, pensions and additional assistance.
The decision on the CBK regulation has been criticized by the USA and the European Union, which have argued that it was taken without prior consultation and without considering the negative impacts on the Serbian population living in Kosovo.
Washington has requested that Kosovo postpone the implementation of the decision, while the EU has requested that a solution be found for this issue within the dialogue in Brussels between Kosovo and Serbia, which is mediated by the European bloc./REL
