The United States is present in the Western Balkans region and will pay attention to this region in the future. This was stated by the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Hoyt Brian Yee, who will soon take up the post of US Ambassador to Macedonian capital Skopje, reports sega.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that the conversation with the US official Brian Hoyt Yee was not easy, that all diplomats from foreign countries come with their own interests, and that his job is to protect the interests of Serbia.

A US State Department official's statement about Serbia not being able to sit "on two chairs" has provoked many reactions.

Daniel Serwer, the director of the Conflict Management Program at the Johns Hopkins School of International Studies and former diplomat says he agrees with Hoyt Brian Yee's claim, although he is more interested in the other question.

Aleksandar Vucic will in the coming days communicate the answers he gave to US State Department official Hoyt Brian Yee's objections, made during their meeting.

This was announced in a statement on Tuesday evening.

"Countries wishing to join the EU must very clearly demonstrate this desire. You can not sit on two chairs at the same time." This was said in Belgrade by US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia Hoyt Brian Yee, reports bgnes.

The statement was made a day before his meeting with Serbian President Alexander Vucic.
