17:17 - Ambassador Hovenier: Kurti has not reacted to our requests, we are considering further steps.
The American Ambassador to Kosovo, Jeff Hovenier, has confirmed that they have had requests directed towards Prime Minister Kurti to take urgent measures to achieve de-escalation in the north, but they have not seen any reaction from him.
Ambassador Hovenier has confirmed that the decision to exclude Kosovo from participating in Europe Defender 23 was made overnight.
"Just as Secretary Blinken stated in his declaration, and as we have said, this will affect our bilateral relations. The first indication of this is General Komoli's decision, the leader of the U.S. Army's European Command, to exclude Kosovo from Europe Defender 23, which happened last night and, as you have seen, there were no Defender 23 activities today and there won't be. For Kosovo, this exercise has come to an end. We are considering other implications," said Hovenier during the conversation with journalists.
"I must say that at this moment, we have requested Prime Minister Kurti to take urgent steps to achieve de-escalation in the north. There has been no reaction to our requests. Therefore, we are considering what our further actions will be. However, at this moment, you will not find much enthusiasm from the United States to react to other interests of Kosovo, such as, for example, engaging with states that have not recognized Kosovo or actively working on Kosovo's European and international integration trajectory," Hovenier added, among other things.
