John McCain

Serbia has made progress since the time of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, especially in recent years under the leadership of Aleksandar Vucic.

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic on Friday welcomed and met with U.S. Senator John McCain, who led a delegation of the U.S. Congress.

Vucic said after the talks said that he and the senators discussed global issues, including the migrant crisis, and that he told them "Serbia will not raise walls in the future, either, because that is neither a European, nor a civilized solution."

U.S. Senator John McCain will on Friday visit Belgrade accompanied by four more Republican and one Democratic senator.

Tanjug reported this late on Thursday, quoting government sources.

Senator John McCain urged Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on July 20 to apologize to U.S. military families for saying prisoners of war are not heroes, in his first direct response to Trump's remarks.

Donald Trump blustered his way into more trouble as he criticized U.S. Sen. John McCain's war record at a conservative forum, overshadowing fellow presidential candidates promoting their credentials to evangelical Christians.
     

Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov will discuss the latest developments in the country's partnership with the United States during a working visit to Washington, D.C. this week.

"USA will support our EU path. With Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, Sen JohnMcCain," Vucic wrote on Twitter on Wednesday and posted two photographs with McCain.

US Republican Senator John McCain has turned down an invitation to be one of the advisors to Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko.

Co-chair of the National Liberal Party (PNL) Alina Gorghiu discussed with U.S. Senator John McCain the international situation and the need for Romania to be a factor of stability in the region, as well as domestic subjects related to the reform of the political class and the fight against corruption.
