Hill: It is of great importance that Serbia supported Ukraine

US Ambassador to Belgrade Christopher Hill stated tonight that Serbia is clearly turning to the West, and that he wants to believe that the US and Serbia understand each other well, that they work together on issues not only between the two countries, but also with other countries, Beta reported.

Hill said for TV Newsmax Balkans that it is also of great importance that Serbia supported Ukraine in, as he stated, the fight against the Russian invasion and that this has "clarified the situation quite a bit in recent years".

"I think Serbia is on the right track, and we certainly share and support Serbia's aspirations for membership in the European Union", said Hill.

Asked about a possible change in US policy towards Serbia, given the change of government, Hill said that elections in the US are held every four years and that America "often changes" governments, but that, according to his belief, Serbia and his country have "some common interests that do not change with the administration".

"I think we have steered US-Serbia relations in a very positive direction and I expect them to become even better," Hill said.
