On behalf of President Trump and the American people, it is my pleasure to congratulate and extend best wishes to the people of Serbia as you celebrate your national day on February 15.

The United States and Serbia share a long history of friendship and cooperation and a commitment to work together toward an even brighter, more prosperous future for our countries. Serbia’s continued efforts to promote economic reform, to further strengthen the rule of law, and to improve relations with its neighbors are cornerstones of its dedication to regional stability and economic growth. By working together we can foster peace and prosperity throughout the Balkans.

On this important occasion, we reiterate our commitment to further deepen the friendship between the United States and Serbia.
