Meeting with Gabriel Escobar, the U.S. Special Envoy for the Western Balkans at the State Department
Pupin Initiative met US Envoy Gabriel Escobar to discuss strengthening Serbia-US relations and advancing strategic cooperation.

An open conversation with Gabriel Escobar, the US Special Envoy for the Western Balkans at the State Department. We discussed Serbian-American relations and the potential for further strengthening of relations.
This was an opportunity for us to present the Pupin initiative to the US State Department and to point out the areas that exist to raise the cooperation between Serbia and the US to an even higher level. We believe that it is in Serbia's interest to have America as its ally, but also for America to have Serbia as its ally.
The Pupin Initiative today builds relationships with all relevant stakeholders in Washington, D.C. with an aim to play a proactive role in proposing policies and strategies to develop relationships.
