American official: The attitude of the administration towards the Balkan region
John Kirby

The spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House, John Kirby, told VOA that Washington's approach to Europe and the Balkan region has not changed. Mr. Kirky made these comments in response to a question as a reaction to an editorial in the Washington Post newspaper, which states that President Biden followed the policy of "supporting the authoritarian Serbian President Aleksandar Vu?i? in an effort to remove him from Russia ".

"This attitude looks more and more like a failure" , says "Washington Post".

Mr Kirby made no further comment.

Recently, after the early elections, Serbia has been engulfed by a wave of protests by the opposition, which accuses the government of massive irregularities and manipulations in the December 17 process.

In the editorial article of the "Washington Post" it is stated that Mr. Vu?i? and Prime Minister Ana Brnabi? "accused the West for the protests" and called them "an attempt to overthrow the government".

"By fomenting resentment against the West and aligning with Moscow, Mr. Vu?i? scores points with nationalist groups, while labeling his democratic opponents as servants of foreign interests," the editorial continues.

The 'Washington Post' says that Mr. Vu?i? repeatedly assures Western officials in private meetings that he "is making the best possible efforts for his 'recalcitrant' nation to be part of the European Union and that he is their partner, alone and reliable".

According to the 'Washington Post', the Biden administration based its conciliatory policy on the guarantees that Mr. Vucic has given them privately.

"Even though several dangerous crises during the past year in neighboring Kosovo have had Serbian fingerprints, the United States has avoided clearly blaming one side, preferring to call for calm ," the article emphasizes./ VOA
