“I wonder if any of the big brave media buttlickers in the press will bring this up at the next national press conference.”
American News Media Ignores “Bogus Information” Given by Obama in Speech on Crimea & Kosovo
Milos Subotic, the International Relations Officer of the University of Pristina, Kosovo told Breitbart London, “During his yesterday speech in Brussels, President Obama showed a lack of knowledge of the political situation in Kosovo. Kosovo never organised any kind of referendum, but the Assembly of Provisional Institutions of self-government of Kosovo made a unilateral declaration of independence on February 17th 2008.
Daniel Hamilton, a Britain-based Balkans expert, and Dr. James Ker-Lindsay, a Senior Research Fellow on the Politics of South East Europe at the London School of Economics, both echoed Milos Subotic’s words.
“I think one must assume that this was indeed an error. However, it really does seem to be an incredible mistake to have made. Surely there must have been someone at hand who would have known that there was no UN organised referendum in Kosovo. It really was not that long ago,” Ker-Lindsay said.
“It’s no secret that Balkan geopolitics is a complex and confusing game – but one would hope the White House speechwriters would check their facts before presenting the President of the United States with bogus information,” said Hamilton.
