We need to explain to the people of Kosovo and Serbia that the agreement, which they may not like, is in their best interest, said U.S. Senator Ron Johnson.
Johnson visited Belgrade and Pristina last week.
He told the Ukrainian Voice of America service that it is up to leaders in Belgrade and Pristina to decide whether they can reach an agreement.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic believes that EU Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini, by inviting Pristina to attend Helsinki meeting, where EU candidate countries are invited, is trying to create a presidency that Belgrade should accept, but which, he adds, certainly won't happen.
Dacic says that the name of another brave country that has withdrawn its decision on recognizing Kosovo's independence will be announced after Vucic's return from New York.
Russia’s ambassador to Serbia Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko said that Belgrade was expected to sign a free-trade pact with the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) on October 25, reported Belgrade based agency Tanjug.
“This is a significant event. The media are paying due attention to it,” Botsan-Kharchenko said in a tweet.
The Head of Serbian diplomacy, Ivica Dacic, told Serbian public broadcaster RTS on Friday that this week he will say the name of the 15th country that withdrew the recognition of Kosovo.
Dacic said for RTS that in this moment less than 100 countries acknowledge ''the independence of so-called Kosovo''.
Srpski Telegraf daily writes today that US President Donald Trump has set August 25 next year as the deadline for resolving the Kosovo issue, and states that it includes a demarcation deal.
"The deadline to put an end to the Kosovo node is August 25 next year, two months before the US presidential election (in November), when Donald Trump will fight for another term in the White House," Serbian media quotes Srpski telegraf.
The whole process around Kosovo is unfair, and the culmination of the international community's hypocrisy is the invitation to Belgrade and Pristina to return to dialogue without sanctioning Pristina for disrespecting the agreement and imposing fees, former US ambassador William Montgomery said on the occasion of the Quint announcement.
"The unpleasant reality is that this whole process is not an honest one. It is a sham," Montgomery pointed out.
The Supreme Court of North Macedonia confirmed Tomor Morina, a former soldier of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) would not be extradited to Serbia despite Interpol warrant issued on Belgrade’s request, the Beta news agency reported on Wednesday.
After going through the documents that Belgrade sent on August 5, and having in mind the international practice so far, Skopje’s Criminal Court said a week ago that the conditions for Morina’s extradition were not met.
Serbian media reported yesterday that the Skopje Supreme Court denied it had already ruled on Serbia's request for the extradition of former KLA member Tomor Morina, specifying that a decision could be expected soon.
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic told Serbian national broadcaster RTS that, despite no negotiations with Pristina, Serbia still exposed to pressures when it comes to Kosovo.
