Florian Bieber from Graz University asked what's the role of Matthew Palmer, recently appointed Special Representative of the US State Secretary for the Balkans.
"If Trump names Richard Grenell special envoy for Serbia & Kosovo, what is the role of Matthew Palmer?", Bieber wrote on Twitter.
He also added that this is "a worrying message for joint EU-US position".

The EU will "hold out the prospect of membership" to "six Western Balkan countries," writes the Financial Times.

They are Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, but also the self-proclaimed state of Kosovo.

According to the report, the Western Balkans "loomed ever larger for the EU" as one of the main route for migrants trying to reach the EU, while "EU strategists also fear that Russia is expanding influence in a region where it has traditional allies."
