US envoy: Biden's administration will work on strengthening relation with Serbia

Godfrey said that such goals went beyond party politics and that progress was made in the US and Serbia cooperation. "The future is bright," Godfrey told the international conference' Belgrade NATO week – That's Us.'

"We're ready to strengthen the cooperation with Serbia to empower it as an exporter of security," in the region, Godfrey said.

Lieutenant General Benjamin Hodges, former US troops commander in Europe, said that 80 percent of people in Serbia believed in "false story that the use of ammunition with depleted uranium" during the NATO's 1999 bombing of Serbia caused a cancer epidemic and that Serbia had the largest number of breast cancer cases in Europe.

"If that were true, everyone in the air force would have been sick with cancer. The continuation of such a narrative undermines the Alliance as Belgrade's partner, and is supported by those who don't care about the future," Hodges said.

He added that no one could have anything against Serbia's economic cooperation with China. If the West is not competitive, China will fill in the gap."

Jelena Milic, the Director of the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies, said all the problems in the Balkans were solved when the US got involved.

"The European Union's decision-making process is so complicated that I' am losing confidence in the European integrations process," she told the conference, adding the campaign of disinformation about NATO should stop. The murder of the US citizens - Ylli, Agron and Mehmet Bytyqi – in police base in (Kosovo's) Petrovo Selo in 1999 should be solved."
