Serbia, Kosovo normalize economic ties, gesture to Israel

WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump announced Friday that Serbia and Kosovo have normalized economic ties as part of U.S.-brokered talks that include Belgrade moving its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, and Israel and Kosovo agreeing to mutual recognition.

After two days of meetings with Trump administration officials, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo s Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti agreed to cooperate on a range of economic fronts to attract investment and create jobs. The announcement provided Trump with a diplomatic win ahead of the November presidential election and furthers his administration s push to improve Israel s international standing.
