Meeting with the Ambassador of the United States of America
President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić met earlier today with the Ambassador of the United States of America Anthony Godfrey.
President Vučić and Ambassador Godfrey expressed their regret for the victims of the coronavirus in the US and Serbia, as well as the hope that the precautions taken will have an effect on the control of the infection. The two discussed the cooperation between Serbia and the US in addressing the challenges of the pandemic, as the only way to deal with them is with joint forces. "Friends like Serbia and the US also rely on each other in uncertain times, such as the time of the pandemic," agreed President Vučić and Ambassador Godfrey.
On behalf of the US administration, Ambassador Godfrey thanked President Vučić and the Government of Serbia for helping to return American citizens to their homes and families, while President Vučić thanked for the US support to Serbia to combat COVID-19.
President Vučić informed Ambassador Godfrey about the package of measures for the recovery of the Serbian economy from the consequences of the pandemic, emphasising that he counts on the contribution of American companies already operating in our market and even more on future investments from the USA.
The President and the Ambassador expressed the expectation that the two countries' economic cooperation would be strengthened, as well as cooperation in other areas of common interest, discussed during President Vučić's visit to the US in March this year.
