Relations between the United States and Kosovo are at a critical point. U.S. diplomat Tina Kaidanow has cancelled her visit to Kosovo, while U.S. Senator Chris Murphy has announced a shortened agenda during his stay in Pristina. Diplomatic sources told Express that Kaidanow, Ambassador-at-Large and Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the State Department, cancelled her visit because of the political deadlock and problems in the judiciary, especially after the recent release of terrorism suspects from detention.
