Nowhere in your references do I read that she got the border opened. Nor has any other commentator, analyst or researcher been able to substantiate fully her statement on CNN: "I negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kusov" It is a known FACT the borders were opened 10 days before she even arrived. She facillitated in allowing more people to get accross, not by some skillfull negotiation but by dropping 2 million US dollars on their table in aid.
From her own site:


"After talks between Hillary Clinton and the Macedonian leadership, which included the announcement of two million dollars in aid, the government opened the borders much wider"

Note, the borders WERE ALREADY OPEN

And from PolitiFact.com

Our reading of the record shows a good deal to suggest Clinton was concerned about the plight of the people of Kosovo, but almost nothing to indicate she was a major player in border negotiations. We'll give her the benifit of the doubt for travelling to Macedonia and meeting with officials, but the way her statement is phrased, it makes her sound primarily responsible for the United States' efforts in the region. We don't find evidence to support that aside from her less-than-12-hour visit, and so we find her statement to be Barely True.
