Belgrade, 19 February 2010

Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration and Minister of Science and Technological Development Bozidar Djelic met with a delegation of US Congress, led by Congressman Earl Pomeroy, after which he stated that Serbia has full support of the United States for its membership in the EU.

Djelic pointed out that there are differences in the attitudes of Serbia and the United States on Kosovo- Metohija and added that Serbian arguments were presented to Pomeroy.

According to Djelic, Serbia believes that after the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague will create conditions for solving the status of Kosovo-Metohija.

The Deputy Prime Minister announced that he will visit the United States in April, when he will sign the first agreement on scientific and technical cooperation of Serbia and the United States.

Pomeroy said he will spend one day visit Kraljevo, where he as high school students spent one summer in a Serbian family.

Pomeroy said he is pleased that the citizens of Serbia are granted visa liberalisation and also with the fact that Serbia applied to obtain candidate status for EU membership.

The Serbian government is working hard, Pomeroy said, adding that he believes that there is room for improvement of cooperation between Serbia and the United States in the field of science, agriculture and energy.
