"We are pleased to once again welcome Assistant Secretary of State Brendan Hanrahan to Belgrade! We look forward to substantive discussions with our partners about Serbia's future, shared priorities and new opportunities to further strengthen relations between Serbia and the United States," the embassy stated.
