Rod Blagojevic, an American of Serbian descent and one of Donald Trump's closest associates, stated for Newsmax Balkans that he is impressed by how Serbia is economically progressing and that he understands why the Serbian people love the US president.
"Serbia is now a very different country, almost as if I’ve arrived in something completely new. This is a country that has changed completely. I flew directly from Chicago here, which was once impossible," Blagojevic explained when asked about his impression of Serbia today.
Blagojevic said that it is evident that Serbia has made economic progress.
"I ran along the Danube, stayed at a hotel that didn’t even exist the last time I was here, and learned a lot about Belgrade on the Water. What’s happening for Expo 2027 and the fact that Belgrade will be the host is very important. I am impressed by how Serbia is advancing economically," he stated.
President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, met in Belgrade with one of the closest associates of U.S. President Donald Tramp, Rod Blagojevic, to discuss issues of importance for Serbia-U.S. relations.

AutorRod Blagojevic traces his Serbian roots to his father, who married an American woman, and as he says, he has always loved Serbia equally and considers its people "family." In this context, he says he follows all events related to Serbia and is proud of what the country has achieved so far.
"Serbia has the second-largest growth in Europe. If the US president did something like Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, they would declare him a king. This is a new beginning of cooperation and friendship between Serbia and the US; Trump is a strong leader like Vucic. Trump and Vucic do not give pompous speeches but try to do what is necessary. Trump loves strong leaders, and the same people who hate Trump, hate Vucic," said Blagojevic.
He also reflected on his political successes, which lasted until, as he says, corrupt prosecutors went after him.
"The Serbian people love President Trump, I understand because I am part of that people. We admire strong leaders because that is a mirror of Serbia's history. Those who don't like either him or Vucic are a combination of crazy socialists who don't like the success of others and believe they can equalize people by pulling successful ones down. They are more interested in complaining than achieving results. If I were Trump or Vucic, I would be proud of the fact that such people don’t like me," Blagojevic emphasized.
Trump, as Blagojevic says, is already thinking about foreign policy and is doing everything opposite of Joseph Biden, who was against Serbia, especially regarding Kosovo.
"During the bombing of Serbia in 1999, no one listened to me; I said they would create a humanitarian catastrophe. What (Slobodan) Milosevic did in Kosovo was wrong, and that stands, but it was done after the bombing. At that time, I couldn't have any influence," he said.
Blagojevic says that the great thing about Trump now is that he does things without any self-interest, to make everything better because he doesn’t have to worry about the next elections.
"He can no longer be elected, and now he’s doing everything to improve the situation in America, as well as relations with other countries, to adjust to external factors. Unfortunately, we have prosecutors who believe that the law is their personal weapon. While I was in politics and on the side of the Democrats, I went to prison for 14 years, and Obama went to the White House. Trump recognized what was really happening, and I spent eight years in prison. From that perspective, I am personally grateful to him, and that’s where my inclination toward Republican politics comes from, as they have more weapons to fight against corruption among prosecutors," Blagojevic said.
Finally, he shared that he is very proud of his heritage and is especially happy that his daughters want to learn about Serbian culture and are interested in learning everything about Serbia, its people, and their grandfather, his father.
