Why did America join Europe that you pressured Kosovo for the establishment of the Hague Court?

Why did America join Europe to pressure Kosovo to establish the Hague Court? - Says journalist Keida Kostreci Journalist and reporter Keida Kostreci discussed the recent developments regarding the decision of the Special Court in The Hague for the former Yugoslav leaders and the circumstances of its establishment. Following the analysis of American experts, Kostreci illuminated the geopolitical background of why Washington joined Europe to pressure Pristina, linking this decision to the diplomatic context of the administration of former President Barack Obama. According to Kostreci, the main idea related to the major geopolitical interests of the USA at that time, especially with the achievement of the foundational agreement with Iran, where Washington needed the support of the Great Powers. "Thor Williams was one of the witnesses for the protection during the process of the former president and former prime minister Thaçi and besides this he continuously demonstrated here in the American Congress by raising the alarm about the moral vacuum between the victims and those who caused the war. Stein Baum, being a close advisor to former Congressman Eliot Engle, always followed a line of congressional experience and besides the fact that he made it very clear and earlier in the interviews that the premise of the court's establishment was wrong. The mandate was wrong because it was raised for something else and then shifted to something else, so he, considering his experience, thinks there might be a role for the Assembly of Kosovo for example, to examine the work of this court and every element of this court. This is something a little more technical but it is an idea from him. What impressed me more and what Mr. Stemba brought by considering his 30 years of experience as Mr. Engle's staff head is that he gives a perspective on what happened 12 or 13 years earlier. Why did America join Europe, Washington joined Europe to pressure Kosovo to establish such a court, and he shows us that it is good not to forget the geopolitical context at that time for the United States. The administration of former President Obama was trying to reach an agreement with Iran with the P5+1 formula and under such conditions it seems Mr. Obama wanted to achieve this agreement so much and did not want the cooperation of Europe and Russia on this issue. For this reason he might have pressured, but on the other hand, as Mr. Obama says, he is a constitutionalist himself and might have thought at that moment that there was nothing wrong with establishing a court that deals with the crimes. And this court did not deal with the crimes of both sides, it dealt only with the crimes of Mr. Thaçi, the other former leaders of the Yugoslavic forces. So for Mr. Stein Baum from him as an expert he said that in his opinion Mr. Obama and his administration were wrong in that case and then they brought what followed," she expressed./Euronews Albania
