Edita Tahiri say to Israeli media that Serbia cannot prevent the recognition of Kosovo by Israel

 Former Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, Edita Tahiri, during an interview for Israel Public Radio, Kan B, in the show "International Hour" with journalist Eran Mor-Cicurel, said that Serbia is trying to sabotage Kosovo's agreement with Israel, but that the effort would not succeed, because of the strategic ties between Israel and the United States.

The former Kosovo Foreign Minister dismissed criticism from other Muslim countries of Kosovo's intention to establish an embassy in Jerusalem and clarified that the interest in Kosovo is firstly national and only then religious.

Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump announced that Kosovo would normalize relations with Israel and that Serbia would move its embassy to Jerusalem by July next year. Trump made the announcement at the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Kosovo and Serbia held at the White House.
