Meeting with James O'Brien, Assistant Secretary at the US Department of State
Vuk Velebit met Assistant Secretary James O'Brian in Belgrade to discuss strengthening Serbia-US ties crucial for Western Balkans stability.

The executive director of the Pupin Initiative, Vuk Velebit, had a conversation with the Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs at the US Department of State, James O'Brian, who was on an official visit to Belgrade.
This was an opportunity to exchange views on the most important topics for Serbia and Serbian-American relations. We at the Pupin Initiative believe that without strategic cooperation between Serbia and the US, there can be no stability in the Western Balkans. Therefore, these relations are important not only for Serbia and the US, but also for the entire region.
