US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and special envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, has said that Serbs abandoning Kosovo's institutions is not the answer. He added that leaving those institutions has the potential for escalation. 

Esobar further said that the United States of America agrees with the European Union that recent developments are worrying and put at risk the important progress achieved in the dialogue facilitated by the EU. 

"The withdrawal of Kosovo Serbs from Kosovo's institutions is not a solution to the current disputes and has the potential to further escalate tensions on the ground. All parties must take steps to reduce tensions and ensure peace and stability. Actions and rhetoric that increase the potential for violence put innocent lives and those of international peacekeepers on the ground at unnecessary risk." 

The American emissary for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, in an interview, also spoke about the Franco-German Plan. 

"Progress towards the normalization of Serbia-Kosovo relations through the EU-facilitated dialogue is very important for regional stability and for European stability, at a time when we are facing Russia's aggression in Ukraine and the crises of strikes that the brutal invasion and Putin's unjustified has caused throughout Europe. The details of the proposal are being discussed within the EU-led dialogue. We strongly support it: I think that after the discussions between the two governments, a greater involvement of the public should begin."
