In an interview for Belgrade-based Politika newspaper, U.S. Ambassador to Serbia, Michael Kirby, said American diplomacy believes that comparisons between Kosovo and Crimea do not stand, “because the process that led to Kosovo’s independence was completely different from what we are seeing now in Crimea”.
Kirby said Kosovo was an international problem that required the involvement of many parties.
“Our position is clear and we condemn what Russia is doing. The EU has also condemned this. Serbia can do whatever it wants. If we talk about what Serbia should do in the case of Crimea, you should ask yourselves how do you see your territory. Think about your approach toward territorial integrity,” Kirby said.
