The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Serbia provides for a liaison position within the State Department in Washington.

According to the Pavlovic Today, US-Serbia relations are on the up and up. Following Secretary Blinken’s announcement that the US and Serbia recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create liaison positions for Serbian diplomats at the Department of State, a State Department spokesperson revealed the details of this new and unique program.

As a result of a Memorandum of Understanding, Serbian diplomats will have an opportunity to come to Washington DC, and serve within the US Department of State.

“This program will not only foster a better understanding of our respective foreign policy goals and objectives but will forge new channels of communication and build lasting partnerships,” a State Department spokesperson confirmed.

According to a State Department spokesperson, the program will allow one Serbian diplomat per year to join the State Department for up to 12 months.

“We look forward to welcoming the first Serbian officer at the Department in fall 2023. The assignment details are to be determined,” a State Department spokesperson said.
