U.S. Ambassador to Serbia Anthony Godfrey said on Dec. 26, the 20th anniversary of the United States Agency for International Development in Serbia, that the U.S. strove to support Serbia in its developmental goals.

"The goal of America is the same as that of Serbia. The U.S. strives to support Serbia in its developmental goals to become a member of the EU and we are all focusing on that goal," Godfrey told the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation.

The U.S. ambassador said he was proud of what has been accomplished in the last 20 years, the partnership they had, and that America was helping Serbia develop in accordance with the developmental goals that it had chosen.

"We want to help our partners develop in a democratically and economically acceptable way. I am very proud that USAID is not a partisan organization, but has the support of Republicans and Democrats. Our mission, especially in Serbia, has mostly remained the same, constant, and I'm proud of the results that we have achieved in Serbia," the U.S. ambassador stressed.
