According to his statement, "it's been 20 years since then, it's time to move forward" and to improve relations of the countries. According to his statement, the US and Serbia " is a very good Foundation for such progress." in 1999, armed confrontation between the Albanian separatists of the Kosovo Liberation army and the army and police of Serbia led to the bombing of Yugoslavia (then consisting of Serbia and Montenegro) NATO forces. In March 2004, Kosovo Albanians staged riots, which led to mass resettlement of Serbs from the province and the elimination of numerous monuments of their history and culture. Kosovo Albanian structures in Pristina on 17 February 2008 unilaterally declared independence from Serbia. The self-proclaimed Republic does not recognize Serbia, Russia, China, Israel, Iran, Spain, Greece and several other countries. The leadership of Serbia under the pressure of Brussels and the region of convergence with the European Union, as well as for the sake of ease of life in the region, Serbian citizens in 2011 was forced to start the dialogue on normalization of relations with Kosovo Albanians with the mediation of the EU.
