USA Ambassador to NATO, Kay Bailey Hutchison said the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina would also mitigate other problems on the both sides, Tanjug news agency reported.

“We want Kosovo and Serbia to work together on normalization. Normalization would contribute to mitigate many other open issues that both sides have,” Ambassador Hutchison said.

She added it is NATO’s wish to overcome historic problems in the territories of Serbia and Kosovo and to establish inclusive minority rights “on both sides of the borders.”

Speaking about NATO relations towards Kosovo Security Forces, Ambassador Hutchison said the Alliance would continue working with Kosovo authorities on establishing a military service that would be “organized in a proper manner.”

“In includes involvement of all minority groups, but also that the development of forces serves to the benefit and security of Kosovo,” she concluded.
