America’s clear message to the Balkans and the leaders
US Deputy Secretary of State, Kristopher Landau, issues a clear message to the Western Balkans. He said America is against politicians who have occupying aspirations, adding that the US will only work with partners who have realistic access.
« Let’s be clear: the United States is not offering unlimited tools for indefinite, unsafe, or unrealistic purposes. This basic point is lost among many advocates for redefining foreign societies in utopian lines. We are not interested in imposing a vision of a society that reflects the preferences of distant bureaucrats. considerable political capital.
We can work hard; But we will only work with those who are committed to practical realism in their countries. We reject the two unstable extremes of desire for extraordinary transformation, on the one hand, or the retrial of ancient complaints, on the other. Endless expansive policies, without historical content and humility, becomes an enemy of strategy and constitutional state-building. This is not our purpose, function or mission. «
