Minister Đurić hosted the U.S. Ambassador for a farewell visit

Expressing gratitude for Ambassador Hill's personal contribution to strengthening the ties between our two nations during his tenure, Minister Đurić noted the significant joint achievements over the past few years that have ushered in a new era in the relations between Serbia and the United States.

"Your commitment to further developing our bilateral cooperation across all sectors, your deep understanding of the historical and cultural context, and the specifics of relations in the Western Balkans, as well as your longstanding professional experience and dedication to building new bridges between our two peoples, have left an indelible mark on our shared diplomatic history," Đurić stated.

"We are particularly proud of the recent initiation of the Strategic Dialogue with America, which not only enhances the structure of our bilateral cooperation but also improves the overall image of Serbia on the international stage," emphasized the head of Serbian diplomacy, noting that the United States is one of Serbia’s most significant foreign policy partners, making regular and constructive dialogue with American officials extremely important.

During the meeting, Minister Đurić also highlighted the intensified economic relations with the U.S., which are on an upward trajectory, evidenced by the increasing inflow of American investments, growing trade in goods and services, and significant financial support through development aid programs.
