If Serbia gets the north of Kosovo along with the Trepca mines, I don't they'd give a shit if the rest of it along with Presheva merges with Albania. Getting a "portion of Kosovo", no matter how small, will be a win in their eyes, especially if it comes with that huge economic benefit.

For better or worse, the only short term path of normalization is if Kosova/Presheva get absorbed into Albania, and Serbia doesn't have to recognize anything. But this will mean the Trepca mines will be gone, and you'll get a huge west/east economic division between Albanians, where Tirana + the coastline cities of Shkoder-Lezhe-Durres-Fier-Vlore-Sarande will hold disproportionate amounts of power. Eastern Albania today has already been almost abandoned (apart from Korce).

Grenell really hates Kurti + Osmani. Yet, really likes Thaci.

Thaci had so much dirt on him so the west could blackmail and manipulate him all day. Kurti is clean and has a backbone. It's just funny how Thaci is preferred by an administration who yells "corruption" "hypocrisy" at every turn.

I don't expect the Biden administration to do anything other than make a few phone calls.

EU and NATO is useless as well

Long term... I believe Rama gets a puppet government planted in Kosova with the help of his rich friends. There might be more jobs to offer and more traffic; so on the outside, things look good and healthy. I think he wants to get in there prior to a potential land swap, because most of the wealth opportunity is in the north.

I don't see an outcome where Kurti stays PM.

Of course he likes Thaci, as Thaci was doing his bidding. Trump wanted to show that he could resolve the conflict between Serbia and Kosova just like he did with Israel and some Arab countries.

Remember when Trump made Vucic and Hoti sign this agreement. He thought he saved the day lol

lol yeah, of course I remember that. It looked like Hoti has no idea what was going on.

Trump had them both sign completely separate agreements.

And I think he was on Twitter saying something like "another peace treaty in the middle east" [in reference to Kosova].
