  • Connor Fiddler
    Connor Fiddler “Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.” 1 hour ago
  • Chen Jining
    Chen Jining “Whether China and the U.S. choose cooperation or confrontation, it affects the well-being of both peoples, of both nations, and also the future of humanity.” 5 hours ago
  • Xi Jinping
    Xi Jinping “I proposed mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation to be the three overarching principles. They are both lessons learned from the past and a guide for the future.” 5 hours ago
  • Xie Tao
    Xie Tao “China knows that it likely has little room to sway the United States on trade. The Chinese government seems to be putting its focus on people-to-people exchanges. The Chinese government is really investing a lot of energy in shaping the future generation of Americans' view of China.” 5 hours ago
  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “The United States has adopted an endless stream of measures to suppress China's economy, trade, science and technology. This is not fair competition but containment, and is not removing risks but creating risks.” 5 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “China alone is producing more than 100 percent of global demand for products like solar panels and electric vehicles, and was responsible for one-third of global production but only one-tenth of global demand. This is a movie that we've seen before, and we know how it ends. With American businesses shuttered and American jobs lost.” 5 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Russia would struggle to sustain its assault on Ukraine without China's support. I made clear that if China does not address this problem, we will.” 5 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “No, Mr Netanyahu. It is not anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 - 70 percent of whom are women and children.” 5 hours ago
  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 23 hours ago

“The removal of barricades will begin. This is not a simple process, and can't be done in two hours, as some imagined. But within 24 to 48 hours the barricades will be removed. But distrust is not removed. Those who are playing with [the] very existence of Serbs in Kosovo must know that, same like we didn't allow it now, we will not allow it in the future as well.”

“The idea of Serbia and Russia together is to try to make conflicts and crisis anywhere where the West has a role and to increase this kind of instability in the region to increase the influence of Russia and Serbia in the region.”

“It is precisely Serbia, influenced by Russia, that has raised a state of military readiness and that is ordering the erection of new barricades, in order to justify and protect the criminal groups that terrorize.”

“Our worry [is] that removal of these barricades cannot exclude casualties. And that's why we want to be as careful as possible to make sure that there will be no destabilisation and relative peace and security will be in place. However, we cannot allow this violation of lawfulness and constitutionality for ever. So, yeah, this must end, sooner the better. The EU-US all agree that barricades should be removed. But they are also worried how this might be used and abused by Belgrade. I think that the worry of our western partners and friends is the links of Belgrade with Moscow. We do not know how they could be rendered operative in case of rising of tensions, towards escalation in the north. I think that their major concern is precisely this: now that Russia got severely wounded in Ukraine after its invasion and aggression, they have interest in spillover. They have interest in outsourcing their war-mongering drive to the Balkans where they have a client who's in Belgrade.”

“The intensity of hybrid attacks by Serbia and Russia against Kosovo has significantly increased… There was a Russia- Serbia plan to burn the Jarinje crossing point yesterday but it was prevented by Kosovo institutions in cooperation with international partners, particularly the Americans.”

“The barricades in the north will not be tolerated for too long. I cannot say it is a civic protest when there are armed people there [at the barricades] who want to return Kosovo to 1999 and who hold up slogans and photos of despotic [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”

“Although Serbia hasn't imposed sanctions, it also didn't recognise the breakaway regions, and Vucic was unhappy with Putin's explicit use of Kosovo as a precedent to justify the independent status of the Donbas. Serbia is also dependent on EU assistance, so that serves as a serious brake on any steps Belgrade takes toward Kosovo.”

“The Kosovo Boxing Federation has been a full member of AIBA since November 2014 and is expected to attend the AIBA Men's World Boxing Championships. AIBA expects that the Kosovo Boxing Federation's delegation will be treated no differently than the delegation of any other AIBA member.”

“Serbia would have to abandon any EU ambitions if it acted militarily against Bosnia or Kosovo. But Vucic [Aleksandar Vucic] appears to have already given up on EU accession. The situation is dangerous. NATO needs to make clear that it will not tolerate Serbian mobilisation of forces against its neighbours, as it did last week against Kosovo, which has no army.”

“Vucic [Aleksandar Vucic] is preparing to use military force in Kosovo and Bosnia when international circumstances change in his favour - such as when US troops withdraw from KFOR (the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo) or when Russia - Serbia's ally - decides to directly intervene in the region. Russia-trained mercenaries in Bosnia and Montenegro are an integral part of the Serbian military strategy for the region. It is a carbon copy of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's pre-invasion actions in Georgia and Ukraine. Vucic government officials have openly stated that Serbia will use military force in its neighbourhood, including a threat Vucic issued against NATO troops in Kosovo last week.”

“Serbia and Kosovo need to unconditionally de-escalate the situation on the ground. Any further provocations, unilateral or uncoordinated actions are unacceptable. The EU-facilitated Dialogue remains the only platform to address & resolve all open issues.”

author

“I spoke to Aleksandar Vucic of Serbia & Albin Kurti of Kosovo about the need to de-escalate in the north of Kosovo. It's vital both Belgrade & Pristina show restraint & return to dialogue. NATO KFOR's mandate remains to ensure a safe & secure environment & freedom of movement for all.”

“For years, President Vučić has managed to send the message that it is necessary to work on reaching an agreement, but also to calm those radical elements in society who are against reaching any agreement with the Kosovo Albanians. His political and social engineering is often reflected in the fact that members of his party and coalition partners often speak contrary to what he advocates in public presentations, which further confuses the public and calms the opponents of the agreement. In the coming period, we will probably witness the continued use of this model of communication. They (the attitudes) are often contrary to what the President is saying. However, the latest public opinion polls show that more and more citizens believe that a solution needs to be found to normalize relations between Serbia and Kosovo.”

“It is our job… to look for a compromise solution every day, because without it someone will unfreeze that conflict one day, and then, whatever we do and no matter how it all ends, I would have to tell someone's mother – I'm sorry you don't have a son anymore, but, at least we've achieved a great victory. I want to repeat – a compromise solution is the only possible solution, but if you ask me what a compromise is, I will tell you – I don't know. However, we all have to reach a compromise together. If we fail to do that, we will leave this problem to future generations.”

“Both leaders were very open and honest about what they want in the dialogue, that is important for the EU, there is no other way forward than the normalisation of relations and both are committed to working on normalisation through dialogue.”

“From my point of view, this first meeting was constructive. It will be hard, but I am an optimist. We now have an honest approach to the problems. The essence of our conflict is the lack of mutual recognition. US President Biden said loud and clear that we need that.”
