A planned meeting in Belgrade between the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, and members of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican Keith Self and Democrat Suhas Subramanyam, has been cancelled, reports Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The American congressmen were received in Belgrade on May 25 by Nevena Jovanović, State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia.
According to the Ministry, officials discussed bilateral relations between the two countries, global issues, the situation in the region, and the position of the Serbian community in Kosovo.
The Serbian National Assembly did not specify to REL the reasons for the cancellation of the meeting with Brnabić, although the meeting had previously been announced by the office of the Speaker.
The United States Embassy in Serbia did not immediately respond to a question regarding the reasons why the meeting did not take place.
On May 24, the congressmen visited Sarajevo, where they reaffirmed their commitment to the Dayton Peace Agreement and the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. During their visit, they met with members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.
Earlier today, the congressmen visited the Presheva Valley, while in the afternoon they arrived in Kosovo, where they visited the military camp Camp Bondsteel.
