Dear Mr. President:

On behalf of the American people, I express my heartfelt congratulations to you and your fellow citizens as you celebrate Serbia's national day on February 15th.

While commemorating 140 years of partnership between our two countries, the United States maintains its firm commitment to promoting economic co-operation, regional stability and democratic values. On behalf of the American people, I express my heartfelt congratulations to you and your fellow citizens as you celebrate Serbia's national day on February 15th. While commemorating 140 years of partnership between our two countries, the United States maintains its firm commitment to promoting economic co-operation, regional stability and democratic values. We remain steadfast in our support for Serbia's purpose for European integration, and we encourage you to continue to take strong steps to achieve that goal, including the creation of necessary reforms and the achievement of a comprehensive normalisation agreement with Kosovo focused on mutual recognition. The power of our relationship is built on a deep history of human ties, fighting as allies in both World Wars and we appreciate the great contributions that Serbs have given to American society in many areas. We also appreciate our close co-operation in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic as we face this unprecedented global challenge together.

I expect to work with you to deepen the bonds of friendship between our countries and strengthen relations between Serbia and the United States. I wish you and the people of Serbia a joyous party.

Honestly,

Joseph R. Biden Jr.
