The new American ambassador to Serbia Mary Warlick will arrive to Belgrade in the second half of January. “We hope that ambassador Warlick will arrive to Belgrade in the second half of January. She is an exceptional professional, has a lot of experience in economy and security relations. She is an excellent choice for Serbia,” Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade Jennifer Brush said. New U.S. ambassador to arrive in late January She said that Warlick will have a lot of work ahead of her immediately. “We have a visit from two congress delegations on a senior level in February,” Brush said, adding that the visit is important because a very small number of congressional officials visited Serbia in 2008-2009. The foundation for building a new embassy will also be laid, Brush said. She said that the new embassy will be much larger than the current one, which according to her shows Washington’s expectation that relations between the two countries will improve and there will be more work to be done. “The new embassy will reflect the strengthening relations with Serbia. This is a three-year project, with investments of USD 117mn for which 500 people from Serbia will be employed,” Brush said. The embassy in Belgrade will be the first embassy on the territory of the former Yugoslavia that will be built completely in accordance with new environmental standards, the diplomat added. “We hope that institutions of higher learning such as the Construction and Architecture Faculties will join this construction process once they have a look at the new way of construction and the new materials,” Brush was quoted.
