Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic stated today, at the end of his visit to Chicago, where he spent the Christmas holidays with members of the Serbian diaspora, that Serbia will deal more intensively with the needs of Serbs living abroad.
We came here not to ask anything from members of the diaspora, but to hear from them what they expect from the motherland and what Serbia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Directorate for Cooperation with the Diaspora and Serbs in the region can do for them, said Selakovic.
According to him, one of the most numerous Serbian communities in the world lives in Chicago and its surroundings, which is connected by an extremely strong patriotic feeling and the Serbian Orthodox Church, which has been operating in that area for more than a century.
I am convinced that there is an extremely great potential of our people here. And that is what we have to work on much more in the future, on establishing even greater national unity, even stronger ties with the motherland of the Republic of Serbia, and to work much more on promoting what Serbia is today, the Minister pointed out.
On the second day of Christmas, Selakovic visited the oldest Serbian organisation in this part of the USA - the Serbian National Defence, talked to members of various associations of the Serbian people and participated in the celebration of Republika Srpska Day.
He pointed out that the visit to Chicago was also a valuable opportunity to meet with representatives of the business community in this part of the United States, who have the desire and need to invest and increase their capital in different parts of the world.
That was a chance to promote Serbia as one of the fastest growing economies in Europe and a country that is the absolute regional leader in attracting foreign investments, Selakovic underlined.
