Building new relations with United States on grounds of former cooperation
Belgrade/Washington,
10 February 2018
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic expressed his conviction after meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that the new US administration has more understanding for the positions of Serbia.
Dacic stressed that the meeting in Washington was very good and that the discussion was dedicated to the future and bilateral relations between Serbia and the United States.
He mentioned that prior to the conversation with Tillerson, he wrote in the guest book that this meeting is dedicated to the centenary of the US and Serbian alliance in the First World War.
For us the very important date this year will be 28 July because on that day 100 years since the Serbian Day in the USA will be marked. That is the day when Woodrow Wilson ordered the Serbian flag to stand out at the White House in recognition of all victims that Serbia gave in the First World War, Dacic said.
Since then 100 years have passed, and that is why we want to reset our relations, to seek common interests, to look for ways in which the United States can help achieve our key goal - stability, peace in the region and solving open issues. First of all, I am referring to the attempt to resolve the problems of Kosovo-Metohija permanently, Dacic stated.
He expressed his conviction that his interlocutors carefully listened to all the arguments he put forward, saying that this meeting confirms that the new US administration has more understanding of what Serbia is talking about in relation to previous administrations, especially those that were drawn into the war conflict in the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
