The president of the provisional Pristina institutions is in the United States, where he is meeting with numerous US officials

The president of the provisional Pristina institutions, Hashim Thaci, is in the US where he met with former head of an OSCE mission in Kosovo William Walker, and he also spoke with US State Department's Western Balkans envoy Matthew Palmer and Atlantic Council Chief Damon Wilson about the possibility of reaching a final agreement with Serbia.

This, he said, would bring about "mutual recognition and membership of Kosovo to the United Nations."

Thaci also posted a post-dinner photo on Facebook, featuring Vlora Citaku, Pristina's representative in the US, and wrote that representatives of the US Senate, Congress and government institutions in Washington were also at the dinner.

After his meeting with Walker, Thaci posted on Facebook to refer to him as a friend of all Albanians, adding that they discussed "Kosovo's achievements after the war and ways to continue cooperation."

William Walker was head of the OSCE verification mission who is remembered as the person after whose report about the alleged "massacre" in Racak NATO started bombed Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999.
