Hill: Serbia is no longer the country of the 1990s — it is time for confident regional leadership

Christopher Hill, former U.S. Ambassador to Serbia and, as of this summer, Senior Advisor to the Pupin Initiative, stated that Serbia should no longer be viewed through the prism of the 1990s, but as a self-assured nation capable of regional leadership.

The Pupin Forum in Washington opened with a one-on-one conversation between Christopher Hill and Vuk Velebit, President of the Pupin Initiative.

As stated in a post on the social network “X,” Hill emphasized that Serbia should no longer be seen through the prism of the 1990s, but as a confident nation capable of taking on a leadership role in the region. He particularly highlighted cooperation in the fields of energy and technology as opportunities for modernization and global visibility, while calling for greater transparency and communication to attract Western investment.

It was underlined that Serbia’s greatest resources lie in its youth, education, and ability to modernize through openness, self-confidence, and partnership.
