Former US ambassador to Serbia, now The EastWest Institute CIO and President, Cameron Munter, told N1 on Thursday that the best solution for both Belgrade and Pristina would be their mutual recognition, adding he was surprised with Serbia’s authorities reaction to current Washington envoy’s statement that for his country Kosovo was an independent state.

"As ambassador Scott said, it is nothing new. That’s the US stand about a real state, as Serbia is a real state,” Cameron Munter, who served as the US envoy in Serbia during Kosovo declaration of independence in 2008 said.

"The best solution is that independent Kosovo and independent Serbia learn to work with each other,” he told N1.
