The US ambassador in Belgrade, Christopher Hill, said today that Pristina would bear the consequences because it had not listened to the advice of the United States of America, adding that it would affect relations with Washington, but that he was not familiar with all the details, B92 reports.

He told reporters in Belgrade that progress had to be made in the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, the formation of the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities, and the continuation of the dialogue.

"Our Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has made it clear that he opposes any moves Kurti has made that are contrary to all the advice we've been giving. And Blinken has said that there will be consequences. We must try not to lose our compass and direction, and that is the formation of the CSM, the normalization of relations. It is necessary for the Balkan region to be reconciled and to continue in the direction of the EU and Euro-Atlantic integrations," Hill said.

He added that the previous days had been very difficult in many ways and that America had regretted all the attacks on KFOR and NATO soldiers, and it should not happen again.
