He expressed expectations for collaboration from the new Trump administration.

Commenting on the return of newly elected President Donald Trump to the helm of the United States, Djuric highlighted that former Trump envoy Richard Grenell had a different approach, aiming to create a new type of relationship between Serbs and Albanians through the establishment of economic ties.

"It is well-known which economy in the region is the strongest – the Serbian economy. It is in our interest to have open borders and allow our goods to circulate freely. This vision aligns with the Open Balkan initiative, spearheaded by President Vucic," said Djuric.

He added that Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic’s government allocates more funds for Serbs in Kosovo than any previous administration, noting that the budget for the Office for Kosovo and Metohija has more than doubled compared to the period when he headed the office.

Studies showing that Serbs in Europe were the most supportive of President Trump’s election, Djuric noted, reflect the Serbian people's appetite for a different and better relationship with the United States, based on mutual respect and acknowledgment.

He also expressed confidence that Serbia-U.S. relations will further improve in the coming period – economically, politically, and in every other sense. He pointed out that American companies in Serbia are involved in key infrastructure projects, such as the Morava Corridor, as well as in energy and the IT sector.
