What we need in talking about the long term of Kosovo, rather than insisting on Serb recognition, what I think you could have agreement on is that both sides want to see both Serbia and Kosovo integrate into a larger whole, into a region…

I would just urge you to do as much as you can to see if you can't get some dialogue going on between them.

I am truly heartened that Senator Shaheen, as chairman of the European Subcommittee, has provided some wonderful leadership in this area.

every 4 to 8 years our country achieves a feat that is very much the exception to the rule when placed in the context of the long roll of history: through universal suffrage the people select a new president, and the president-elect…

One of the things that came up, we had a very good meeting with the Defense Minister who we were quite impressed with.
