Trump Announces ‘Breakthrough’ Agreement Between Serbia And Kosovo To Normalize Economic Activity

President Donald Trump announced Friday that Serbia and Kosovo had reached a “breakthrough” agreement to normalize economic ties more than a decade after the latter declared independence from the former.

Trump made the announcement during a joint visit to the White House by Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo’s Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti.

“Today, I am pleased to announce yet another historic commitment,” Trump said in a statement accompanying the meeting. “Serbia and Kosovo have each committed to economic normalization. After a violent and tragic history and years of failed negotiations, my Administration proposed a new way of bridging the divide. By focusing on job creation and economic growth, the two countries were able to reach a real breakthrough on economic cooperation across a broad range of issues.”

Trump further announced that Kosovo would soon establish diplomatic relations with Israel and that Serbia plans to emulate the U.S. by moving its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem by July 2021.

The area is in the Balkans, land between Europe and Ottomans. Remember, WWI Archduke Ferdinand knocked off in Serbia. Not a great neighborhood and often a historical flashpoint.

I think it's historic because one had declared independence, and now "commitment" to have relations with them. If that would stick, and a miracle happens and things start working out over the years between Israel and others... Well, good things to have on your resume anyway.
