Former US ambassador to Serbia William Montgomery expects stability in the Balkans, the fight against terrorism and the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina among the main issues to be discussed during the upcoming visit of US Vice President Joseph Biden to Serbia.
“I expect that Biden would push for the further progress in terms of the Brussels Agreement,” Montgomery said to Tanjug.
He says that Biden was the main man in the US for relations with the Balkans and that he developed a solid working cooperation with the Prime Minister in this capacity.
According to him, the Balkans carries an “arc of instability which includes Macedonia, Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina,” and Serbia “plays a constructive role” in trying to resolve this.
“I expect that this topic will be a significant point of Biden’s talks here, and the topic associated with that, the global terrorism which can come via the Balkan countries that I mentioned,” says the former US ambassador.
With regard to the presidential campaign in the US, it might be his last official trip to the region, and thus a kind of “official farewell,” concludes Montgomery.
