Vice president of the Washington-based Institute of Peace Daniel Serwer said that Hillary Clinton should ask Serbia to give up on Kosovo and Bosnia. He added that he hoped the U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton would take the course of solving two major remaining problems in the Balkans, which were Kosovo and Bosnia. "Serbia should give up on Kosovo, Bosnia" "I hope that Hillary Clinton will, if she wants to push things forward, request from Belgrade to give up its territorial ambitions in Bosnia and Kosovo if they want to join the NATO and European Union," Serwer said. Serwer believes that Belgrade will say they had no territorial ambitions in Bosnia, but Serbian President Boris Tadic “has recently shown open support to a presidential candidate in the Republic of Srpska who claimed territorial ambitions and promised a referendum on the independence of the RS". "That would cause trouble and Serbia should take a clear position on that matter," Serwer said for Voice of America. Asked whether the visit of Hillary Clinton showed renewed and more intensive U.S. involvement in the Balkans, instead of letting the EU lead the way, Serwer responded that the Americans would like to let the EU deal with the Balkans, provided they were given assurances the EU could manage without the United States.
