Raising the issue of Albanians in Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja: The position of Serbs in Kosovo and Albanians in the PBM area cannot be compared
The visit of U.S. Congressmen Keith Self and Suhas Subramanyam to Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja (PBM), as well as to Belgrade and Pristina, has prompted differing interpretations across the region. While some of Kosovo Onlinecs interlocutors believe the visit was aimed at assessing the situation of minority communities, others argue that it constitutes political pressure on Belgrade and an attempt to draw a parallel between the position of Albanians in the PBM area and that of Serbs in Kosovo, stressing that the two situations are not directly comparable.
