Representatives of Pupin Initiative had a cordial and open conversation with Sasha Kasanof, the new Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans.

Mr. Kasanof emphasized the positive role the Pupin Initiative plays in reinforcing relations and improving the understanding of Serbia’s perspective in Washington, as well as the U.S. position in the Western Balkans.
