Kerry must respect the EU's authority | 22:20 July 28 | B92
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Wednesday – Washington analyst Obrad Kesic said
that he is surprised by American presidential hopeful John Kerry's
stance on Kosovo.
Kesic says that the reason for his stance on Kosovo is most likely
related to the fact that a large number of his international affairs
advisors were members of Bill Clinton's administration as well.
"One of the biggest criticisms against Kerry by the American media is
that he is very unclear on what it is exactly that he would do
differently from the current administration. They are saying that his
stance on almost every issue is the same, from Iraq to talks between
Palestinians and Israelis." Kesic said.
Kesic added that if Kerry wins the election, his stance is likely to
change when he is faced with the reality of the situation.
"One reality is that talks between Serbs and Albanians are already
going on. The EU is the key arbitrator in these talks, and Kerry
announced that if he is to win, his first move will be to create
stronger ties between the US and Europe. Therefore it will be very
hard for the US to make any big political decisions concerning the
Balkans because the EU has jurisdiction over them." Kesic said.
