We hosted Mr. Sasha Kasanof, the new Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans, in Belgrade.
The University Library in Belgrade is a symbol of Serbian-American cooperation throughout history. It was built thanks to the efforts of Michael Pupin, who secured funding from the Carnegie Foundation in the United States, through whose donation the library was constructed.
Today, a hundred years later, we want to send a message that there is much more that unites us than divides us, and that Serbia and the United States are committed to building better relations for the future.
Vuk Velebit, Executive Director of the Pupin Initiative, presented Michael Pupin’s autobiography to Mr. Kasanof, who is on an official visit to Serbia.
