US Senate resolution affirmation of progress in relations with Serbia
Belgrade,
22 April 2010
Deputy Prime Minister for EU integration Bozidar Djelic stated today that a resolution passed by the United States Senate acknowledging Serbia’s efforts to integrate into Europe and the global community is an affirmation of the progress made in relations between the United States and Serbia.
Djelic, who is visiting the United States, stated to the Tanjug news agency that the United States Senate passed a resolution yesterday which congratulates Serbia for submitting its application for EU candidacy and calls on the European Council to adopt a clear policy towards this request in a timely fashion.
The resolution states that the United States views the EU as a source of stability, security and prosperity for Europe and the entire world, therefore Brussels is encouraged to continue its cooperation with all Western Balkan countries regarding their European integration process, said Djelic.
This resolution, initiated by a group of highly influential and esteemed senators, will greatly contribute to the strengthening of relations between the United States and Serbia, said the Minister.
Djelic said that the resolution affirms that the United States believes that Serbia has established full cooperation with the Hague tribunal and calls for the extradition of the two remaining indictees.
The Deputy Prime Minister said it is important that the resolution calls for an immediate consideration of Serbia’s EU candidacy by the European Commission, adding that this is an important demonstration of support from the United States before the EU summit in June.
He stressed that the adoption of this document shows that last year’s visit by US Vice-President Joseph Biden to Serbia was beneficial in many ways.
Djelic, who will sign an agreement on scientific-technological cooperation between the Serbian and US governments during his visit, said that this confirms the possibility for cooperation between Serbia and the United States in the remit in which this country is still a world leader.
Djelic explained that this agreement will be a legal framework that will enable Serbian universities and institutes, as well as companies, to better cooperate with US technological companies and scientific centres.
He stressed that this news is of enormous importance for the large and extremely well educated Serbian scientific Diaspora living and working in the United States as it will help them strengthen the bonds with their homeland.
