It&#8217;s a matter of days, and we expect that with this airline and the opening of the General Consulate, our network in the USA will expand and reflect both our relations and the needs of our citizens living in that area,&#8221; Kozarev said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stressed that, once approvals from official institutions are received, it will take a few more months for internal preparations to open the General Consulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;In the most optimistic scenario, if we receive the host country&#8217;s consent tomorrow, we can already count on the opening of new General Consulates in the USA and the expansion of our diplomatic and consular network worldwide starting this fall,&#8221; Kozarev stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the USA, Serbia currently has an embassy in Washington D.C., a Permanent Mission to the United Nations, and two General Consulates in Chicago and New York, as well as a consulate attached to the Embassy in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> Politika <strong>Photo: <\/strong>Air Serbia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MORE TOPICS:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/they-werent-even-born-then-vucic-accuses-students-in-blockade-of-handing-milosevic-over-to-the-hague\/\" title=\"\">THEY WEREN\u2019T EVEN BORN THEN: Vu\u010di\u0107 Accuses Students in Blockade of Handing Milo\u0161evi\u0107 Over to The Hague!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/wash-your-face-with-cold-water-students-respond-to-vucics-accusation-of-handing-milosevic-over-on-vidovdan\/\" title=\"\">\u201cWASH YOUR FACE WITH COLD WATER\u201d: Students Respond to Vu\u010di\u0107\u2019s Accusation of Handing Milo\u0161evi\u0107 Over on Vidovdan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/good-news-for-serbs-in-america-serbian-consulate-general-to-open-in-miami-this-fall-along-with-a-new-air-route\/\" title=\"\">GOOD NEWS FOR SERBS IN AMERICA: Serbian Consulate General to Open in Miami This Fall, Along with a New Air Route!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/trump-on-serbia-and-the-so-called-kosovo-they-should-give-me-the-nobel-peace-prize-for-them\/\" title=\"\">TRUMP ON SERBIA AND THE SO-CALLED KOSOVO: \u201cThey Should Give Me the Nobel Peace Prize for Them\u201d!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/20-years-for-the-murder-of-9-people-appellate-court-upholds-20-year-sentence-for-uros-blazic-for-massacre-in-malo-orasje-and-dubona\/\" title=\"\">20 YEARS FOR THE MURDER OF 9 PEOPLE: Appellate Court Upholds 20-Year Sentence for Uro\u0161 Bla\u017ei\u0107 for Massacre in Malo Ora\u0161je and Dubona!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-from-chicago-among-top-loan-agents-in-america-alex-facilitated-over-2-billion-in-mortgages-then-turned-experience-into-his-own-business\/\" title=\"\">SERBIAN FROM CHICAGO AMONG TOP LOAN AGENTS IN AMERICA: Alex Facilitated Over $2 Billion in Mortgages, Then Turned Experience into His Own Business!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-from-chicago-among-top-loan-agents-in-america-alex-facilitated-over-2-billion-in-mortgages-then-turned-experience-into-his-own-business\/\" title=\"\"><br><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Consulate of Serbia in Miami could open as early as this fall, reflecting improved and ambitious Serbian-American relations and the needs of the Serbian diaspora, stated Du\u0161an Kozarev, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, today.
