Richard Grenell, the Special Envoy of the President of the USA for Kosovo and Metohija, obviously has a feeling that there is a possibility to reach at least an agreement on economic cooperation, Sputnik reports.

The government of the mainly Serb entity in Bosnia, Republika Srpska, RS, has set aside additional cash for lobbyists in the US to get RS President Milorad Dodik removed from the US blacklist, documents and information which BIRN received from Bosnian Serb officials reveal.

Most local analysts and international officials say the move is unlikely to achieve much, however.

Analyst Obrad Kesic says the news that the Trump administration wants "the state" of Kosovo to have its own army is - fake.

Donald Trump's victory has reinvigorated Republika Srpska, RS representatives in Washington as the shock development is being interpreted as a new opportunity for the entity, which already spends heavily on lobbying, to promote itself to US policymakers.

The head of the Republika Srpska's Representative Office in the US, Obrad Kesic, says Serbs from the mainly Serbian entity in Bosnia should have their own representatives in the parliament in Serbia, the Bosnian newspaper Nezavisne reported on Monday.
