Continuation of positive dynamics of relations with USA

Belgrade, 28 January 2020

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said today that fostering good bilateral relations with the US is one of the most important tasks of Serbian diplomacy.

Dacic said to the reception marking two years since the founding of the Congress of Serbian-American Friendship that the work and activities of this congress confirm that our relations can and must be strengthened not only in the political sphere, but also in the fields of economy, but also technological, cultural and scientific cooperation.

He said that Serbia has made clear that it wants to improve relations with the US on the basis of a rich history, but also a common strategic commitment to establishing a stable and secure region of the Western Balkans.

According to Dacic, the current relations between Serbia and the US are characterised by positive dynamics, and in order to maintain the upward trend of bilateral cooperation, we express our constant interest in continuing regular political dialogue with US officials.

At the same time, Dacic stressed that there was an open invitation from our side to visit top US officials in Serbia, including the visit of US President Donald Trump.

He reminded that the USA is today one of the most important foreign investors in the Serbian economy, with so far invested nearly four billion dollars and more than one billion donations through development assistance programmes, for which we are particularly grateful.

The establishment of the Congress of Serbian-American Friendship and its activities are welcome and very important for Serbia, as they positively influence the achievement of a common goal, which is to overcome the negative legacy from recent history and return of Serbia-US relations to the old paths of alliance and partnership, Dacic explained.

He expressed the Foreign Ministry's willingness to assist in the implementation of these activities and to work together to build a comprehensive cooperation with the US based on the shared values and interests of our two states and peoples.
