US envoy: Our relation with Serbia can be like 100 years ago
The US Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott told N1 on Thursday that relations between his country and Serbia could go back where they were a century ago.
On the occasion of the centennial of Serbia’s flag flying on top of the White House, Scott said that the US-Serbia relationship was based on shared values and that they could again be the same as they were during the First World War.
“The whole world admired Serbia then, and especially people in the United States,” >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << the Ambassador said.
“We were allies in the Second World War as well,” Scott said, adding that America helped Yugoslavia in 1948 when it was under the Soviet embargo for opposing the authority of the then Moscow’s communist leader Joseph Stalin.
Scott also referred to the period during the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, when the two countries’ relations were at the lowest level.
He said that that period was the most difficult not only for the US-Serbia relations but for the whole region and that now was the time to rebuild the friendship that existed once, adding that there was no reason for that not to happen.
