Grenell: Good management of the crisis caused by Kurti contributed to Vucic's victory

The former envoy of the American president for the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo, Richard Grenell, said that the convincing victory of the SNS also contributed to the fact that the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, managed the crisis created, as he says, by the extremist Kosovo leader Albin Kurti.

Grenell stated on the social network "X" that he heard many who claim that independents and pensioners in Serbia ended up voting for the SNS because Vucic behaved very well in the negotiations with the Kosovo extremist leader Albin Kurti.

"When the international community universally condemned Kurti, they liked how Vucic managed the crisis and stayed above it. I remember that I had to put pressure on Serbia and Kosovo equally when Thaci was president. But when Kurti came to power, the situation has become unbalanced," said Grenell.

He added that Kurti was causing problems.

"Kurti's radicalism was the main issue for those voters," he said.
