US special envoy and coordinator for the Global Engagement Center James P. Rubin will undertake a 4-day tour of the Balkans.
According to DASH, Rubin will travel from April 10-14 to Podgorica, Montenegro; Skopje, North Macedonia; and Tirana, Albania.
In Podgorica and Skopje, Special Envoy Rubin will meet with government officials to strengthen support for counter-disinformation initiatives. He will discuss efforts by Russia, the People's Republic of China and other malevolent actors using disinformation to undermine democracy and national security around the globe, and how our nations can together counter threats in the information space.
While in Tirana, special envoy Rubin will participate in meetings with US ambassadors from the Western Balkans.
What is noticeable from DASH's announcement is that Serbia remains off the agenda, as there is no planned visit to Belgrade.
