Joseph J. DioGuardi: “We need jobs in Kosovo, not a road.”

I think that it is time for the U.S. to realize that, by abandoning the Balkans to the European Union, we have failed.

It is not going to work, Mr. Chairman. Let me tell you why. You have got such political corruption now in Albania, in Macedonia, in Kosovo, in Serbia.

Regarding Kosovo, if the EU is serious about integration, there must be a much more aggressive approach taken for the recognition of Kosovo by all EU countries including Serbia.

There is racism by the Slavic Macedonians and Slavic Serbs. There is actual racism against the Albanian people today.
