The role of the diaspora is extremely important. When I say that we need to look at Kosovo as a pro-western state, this doesn't mean that we aren't looking at the Serb diaspora at all. Diasporas are often made up of people who can assess and be frustrated but can also pull levers in their own states. The Kosovar, Albanian and Serbian diasporas in Canada can play important roles in pushing their governments towards a more pro-western stance.
I really want to put that on the table. It's not just about looking at the Kosovar and Albanian diasporas. The Serbian diaspora in Canada also has a lot of goodwill towards the west and Canada. We can rely on them as emissaries and diplomats within Canada to speak to their country and to advocate for better policies.
