PRISTINA, June 25 — A planned White House summit between Belgrade and Pristina fell apart today after Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti cancelled his trip to Washington, following the lead of President Hashim Thaci who scrapped the visit to face war crimes charges. That left Prime Minister Hoti to meet with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on his own at the White House talks set for June 27.“I have to return to Pristina to deal with the situation,” he said, referring to the charges filed against Thaci and others.
The EU-backed tribunal was established in 2015 to investigate crimes committed by independence-seeking ethnic Albanian guerrillas during and after the war with Serbia.
