New U.S. ambassador arrives in Belgrade

"Our mission is to work towards a Serbia that is prosperous, secure, democratic and fully integrated within Euro-Atlantic institutions. We are committed to helping Serbia become a part of a Europe whole, free and at peace," he stressed.

Munter was sworn in as the U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Serbia on July 26.

Prior to the latest appointment, he served as deputy chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassies in Prague (2005-2007) and Warsaw (2002-2005). During this period, he also volunteered as the first team leader of the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Mosul, Iraq (2006).

Before that, in Washington, Munter was director for Central and Eastern Europe at the National Security Council (1999-2001), Executive Assistant to the Counselor of the State Department (1998-1999), Director of the Northern European Initiative (1998), and Chief of Staff in the NATO Enlargement Ratification Office (1997-1998).

Earlier he had held the posts of Country Director for Czechoslovakia (1989-1991) and Staff Assistant in the European Bureau of the State Department (1988-1989).

Munter, who joined the Foreign Service in 1985, holds a doctoral degree in Modern European History from the Johns Hopkins University and studied also at the universities of Freiburg and Marburg in Germany and Cornell University, the embassy said.
