Serbian businessman from the USA, Goran Petkovi\u0107, who was present at events at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in recent days, claims for Serbian Times that he does not believe the allegations that Serbian President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 was prevented from entering a Republican reception last weekend, after which he returned to Belgrade.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petkovi\u0107 is, incidentally, one of the founders and president of the Serbian American Political Action Committee (Serbian American PAC), which was a major sponsor of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and has visited the presidential estate in Florida several times, where he celebrated his victory in the November elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On Thursday, along with several other members of our PAC, I attended first a reception and then a donor dinner for Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate for governor of Florida, which we sponsor both as an organization and privately, individually. Some foreign nationals, diplomats, and representatives of other countries also attended the cocktail, and only sponsors, American citizens, could enter the dinner, as regulated by law,” Petkovi\u0107 says at the beginning of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds that the next day, at a lunch in the hotel where a delegation of our businessmen from the USA was staying, he had the opportunity to meet President Vu\u010di\u0107:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He came to greet us, to introduce himself and take photos. He thanked us for what we are doing for the Serbian community in America and for the help we provide to Serbia. Each of us introduced ourselves and said what we do, and with us were the president of the Serbian Caucus in Congress, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko \u0110uri\u0107, State Secretary Damjan Jovi\u0107, former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevi\u0107, as well as the Consul of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Chicago, Tatjana Teli\u0107. The president looked tired, did not stay long, but went on, and we proceeded to the Republican Convention, where Trump gave a great speech that day, and then greeted the guests, including us from the Serbian American PAC.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petkovi\u0107 says that they did not talk to Vu\u010di\u0107 about his plans, meetings with Trump, and American officials, but emphasizes that the story that the Serbian president was prevented from entering the Mar-a-Lago complex does not seem realistic to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The security system in the presidential complex in Florida, which I have gone through several times, works so that when you receive an invitation, you are required to go through the security procedures of the U.S. Secret Service. When you arrive for the first time, you receive a link through which your personal documents, status, and citizenship are checked. Therefore, it sounds incredible to me that someone registered President Vu\u010di\u0107 under a false name, because that would have been discovered during the online check, he would not have been able to approach the Mar-a-Lago parking lot, let alone the building where the event took place. Secondly, it is known that foreign nationals cannot donate or attend political events of American politicians and candidates, so I believe that people from Vu\u010di\u0107’s cabinet knew that,” our interlocutor states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
