After Historic Serbia-Kosovo Peace Deal — Negotiating Countries Discuss Renaming Border Lake to — “LAKE TRUMP”

 

Not making headlines…
Following the historic Serbia-Kosovo peace deal brokered by the Donald J. Trump administration there is serious talk about changing the name of a disputed border lake to Lake Trump.

The idea was first suggested by US Ambassador Richard Grenell.
But now the two countries are taking the idea seriously.

President Trump was nominated for a second Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the peace deal between Serbia and Kosovo.

The Gazeta Express reported:

It all started as an idea to relax negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia delegations, but the idea to name the Gazivoda/Ujman Lake “Lake Trump” as seen in the photo seems more serious than initially thought.

An idea that started as a joke for the Ujman Lake, which Serbs refer to as Gazivoda, to find a compromise name seems to be taking shape. During the negotiations at the White House, the US Presidential envoy for the dialogue, Richard Grenell, gave the idea to name the lake after Trump.

Initially everybody laughed with the idea. But not today. Gazeta Express has learned that Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti expressed his readiness to support Grenell’s idea at a meeting with him. The same idea was endorsed also by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic at another meeting.

The debate, and later the Agreement, about Ujman Lake have triggered a wave of reactions in Kosovo. Kosovo has reached an agreement with the US for the State Department to carry out a feasibility study on how to share the lake’s resources.
