First Anniversary Cockatil Event
We celebrated our first year with a Belgrade reception, marking progress in restoring strong Serbian-American relations without public funding.
On Friday, we marked one year of the Pupin Initiative’s work with a cocktail reception at the Aeroclub in Belgrade, in the presence of our members and friends.
When our journey began a year ago, we at the Pupin Initiative set a very ambitious goal: to restore the former glory of Serbian-American relations.
To revive a forgotten alliance, restore neglected connections, and highlight untapped potential.
It seemed like we had embarked on an impossible mission.
In a short time, we have been recognized by all Serbian and American decision-makers involved in the Western Balkans.
The Pupin Initiative is a pioneer in Serbia when it comes to establishing an organization funded exclusively by its members, friends, and donors.
We are proud to have succeeded without using taxpayers’ money from any country and have earned the respect and trust of a significant number of prominent American and Serbian citizens, businesses, and organizations who want the best possible relations between our two countries.
We wanted to be credible intermediaries, and we have succeeded. Thank you!
