Well, the relations between Serbia and US are getting better.
Last month(last year) , USS Gonzales sailed in the port of Bar.
First by a U.S. Navy ship since the establishment of the Union of Serbia and Montenegro in February this year.
Heh…the Americans were amazed at the way their ship was guarded. Nobody ever provided that much security for them, they said.
The relations between old allies, US & Serbia, are still far from what they were in 1918, when Woodrow Wilson, then president of United States, gave the order that the Serbian flag be raised over the White House and all public buildings in Washington.
