At today's meeting, discussions were held on the ways to strengthen bilateral ties, especially in the light of marking 100 years since the then President of the USA, Woodrow Wilson, ordered the Serbian flag to be lifted on the White House.

They also exchanged views on the situation in the region and the importance of the role of the Republic of Serbia in the promotion of peace and security, both for the region and for Europe.

Senator Johnson expressed the interest of the United States to help Belgrade find a long-term solution to relations with Pristina.

He suggested that the past be left to the past, not to forget, but to forgive, and to focus on the future.

Also, Senator Johnson urged both parties to use a historic opportunity to progress in the normalisation of their relationship.

Dacic confirmed Serbia's readiness to invest in finding a lasting solution that will be in the mutual interest and in the interest of stability in the region, according to a statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
