Whether in the absence of domestic election uncertainties or due to increasingly intense relations between the two countries, it seems that in the recent past, there has not been such a great interest in Serbia for the American presidential elections. The fact that our region had its five minutes in the campaign, that the Serbian and American administrations raised the level of cooperation, as well as that the perception of the USA among the citizens of Serbia has improved, certainly influenced the great public attention towards “the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November”. This contributed to the formation of opinions about the candidates, about what the victory of one or the other will mean for Serbia and how Serbian-American relations will further develop. Attitudes are taken and there is an impatient anticipation of November 3 in order to find out the fate of Serbia in the next four years.<\/p>\n
However, is everything as it seems? Did Serbia really have an important place in the American presidential campaign? What is the nature of the relationship that developed during the mandate of the current administration? Will these relations change for the better or for the worse if one or the other candidate wins? What awaits Serbia after the US elections?<\/p>\n
The answers to these and many other questions will be provided by:<\/p>\n
