Speaking about the future of bilateral relations, the congressman highlighted the importance of understanding shared strategic interests, especially regarding regional stability and the emerging global economy.

"We all need to better understand what serves our most mutual interests, particularly when it comes to regional stability and the new economy. There is tremendous potential in high-tech industries, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing. We should strengthen our partnership wherever possible because it creates benefits for both Serbia and the United States", he said.

Congratulating the people of Serbia on Statehood Day, Harrigan also underscored the historical ties between the two nations, recalling their alliance during World War II.

"History is incredibly important not only to Serbia but also to the United States, as it reflects the strength and cohesion of our relationship. I thought it was especially fitting today to speak about Operation Halyard during World War II, when Serbian civilians, at great personal risk, sheltered and cared for American airmen who had been shot down while supporting Allied operations" Harrigan stated.

He noted that, working alongside the Office of Strategic Services - the predecessor of today’s U.S. special operations forces - more than 500 American troops were successfully evacuated during the mission.

"That moment in history helped forge the strong relationship between the American and Serbian peoples and should help guide how we think about our shared future", Harrigan concluded in his statement to Newsmax Balkans.
