U.S. Ambassador to Belgrade Cameroon Munter says that the U.S. policy of partnership and friendship with Serbia will continue after the elections. "This has been an exciting year for Serbia as well. Your election has changed the face of your country. America proudly wants to follow Serbia’s example. Just like you project the policy of your country, we will also endeavor to show what the U.S.’s policy’s is like, regardless of the outcome of the presidential race,” said Munter during U.S. Election Night 2008. Munter: Partnership policy to continue Munter said that he was happy that so many people had attended the event organized by the U.S. embassy in Belgrade, adding that he realized that there was a tremendous interest in the U.S. presidential election, because of the global impact of the result. "Regardless of the winner, changes in U.S. policy should be expected, but certain basics will remain the same,” the ambassador said. Munter was referring to the war on terror and the integration of post-communist countries. He said that what was being witnessed was a competition between two exceptional candidates, both of whom had exceptional resumes. "John McCain served in the Navy, he survived five terrible years as a prisoner of war, he proved to be a true statesman during his 25-year career in the U.S. Senate. Barack Obama is the child of an immigrant, the best student of our prestigious universities, a professor in Constitutional Law, and a man who has risen from the position of protecting small communities on the streets of Chicago to the U.S. Senate,” Munter said. The ambassador said that regardless of the differences between the two candidates, their life stories would be an inspiration and serve as an example of the fulfillment of the American dream, “all the while representing the diversity of U.S. society in all its democratic capacity.” Munter said that the future U.S. president’s biggest challenge would be tackling the global economic crisis that American society was facing.
