Important Statement by Whitaker
In his message, Whitaker emphasized the following:
'Constructive meeting with President Vučić to launch a new era in U.S.-Serbia relations. We value Serbia's role in regional stability and look forward to joint exercises between Serbia and NATO in May. But I made it clear: Serbia's defense and security cooperation with unreliable partners creates long-term strategic dependencies that are hard to shake off and complicates future cooperation. For a modern, future-oriented partnership, Serbia's strategic future must be tied to the West. Security depends on choosing the right partners.'
