US-Brokered Serbia-Kosovo Deal a 'Step Forward' But Challenges Remain

Keida Kostreci

   WASHINGTON - Serbia and Kosovo signed a U.S.-brokered agreement in
   Washington Friday to normalize economic relations.
   Reached after two days of talks, the document also included plans for
   Israel and Kosovo to establish diplomatic relations and for Belgrade to
   move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem.
   President Donald Trump who also signed the document at the White House
   ceremony, called the agreement "historic," adding that "after a violent
   and tragic history and years of failed negotiations, my administration
   proposed a new way of bridging the divide."
   "By focusing on job creation and economic growth, the two countries
   were able to reach a major breakthrough," Trump said.
