The US Embassy to Prishtina reacted after the train with nationalist slogans was stopped from entering the territory of Kosovo.
“Kosovo is a sovereign, independent country and we respect the right of Kosovo to manage who and what crosses its borders”, the online declaration says.
The Embassy welcomes the fact there were no clashes in the border, and underlines that nationalism is of no good to anyone.
“The U.S. strongly supports the EU-moderated Dialogue as the best way forward for Kosovo-Serbia relations and we urge all sides to avoid dangerous rhetoric and continue to work for the normalization of relations and the improvement of the lives of the citizens of both countries”, the statement says.
The US Embassy appeals all parties to avoid rhetoric and keep working for improving bilateral relations and life of citizens in both countries.
“Today we celebrate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “the time is always right to do what is right;” now is the right time to work for cooperation and against confrontation”, the message concludes.
