Serbia's President, Aleksandar Vucic, extended an invitation to former US President Donald Trump, citing Serbia's significant support for Trump during his election campaign. Vucic expressed a desire to bolster relations between the two nations under potential future Trump leadership.
Despite Serbia's bid for EU membership, the nation maintains close ties with Russia, resisting pressure to impose sanctions for the Ukraine conflict. However, reports suggest Serbia has supplied Ukraine with weapons clandestinely, maneuvering diplomatically in the West.
A multimillion-dollar contract involving Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reflects Serbia's ongoing connections with Trump's circle, controversially involving a luxury hotel project in Belgrade led by Richard Grenell, a prominent Trump figure.
