Discussion with Elizabeth Allen, the State Department's Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy

Executive Director of the Pupin Initiatives, Vuk Velebit, attended a lunch held in honor of the visit of Elizabeth Allen, the State Department's Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy.

This was an opportunity to discuss further improvement of Serbian-American relations, recognizing the importance of these relations for the stability and prosperity of the entire Western Balkans.

Serbia plays the most important role in the region, and therefore, we believe that the Serbian position will be more respected and recognized in Washington.

Economic relations are the brightest spot of cooperation, with America becoming Serbia's most important trading partner in the field of IT services. We need even more investment, student exchanges, and cooperation between Serbs and Americans.
