CENTRE in Media: About Biden's visit on N1 and Radio Belgrade 1

On the occasion of  the US Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Serbia on August 16, CENTRE's director Svetlana Djurdjevic-Lukic took part in N1's program Novi dan (New Day) and in Radion Belgrade 1's show Novinarenje. 

She was a contributer together with Aleksandra Joksimovic, a president of the Foreign Policy Center, on the regional television N1. Ms. Djurdjevic-Lukic emphasized that Serbia increased its importance in the American foreign policy due to a stronger Russian influence in the region, migrants' crisis, and its citizens' military engagement, especially in the Middle East. Furthermore, she noted that long-term priorities of the American foreign policy in the Balkans are independent Kosovo and preserving the integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In her opinion, this visit could be interpreted as recapitulation of previous efforts and underlining relatively positive effects of the Obama's administration. 

Likewise, Ms. Djurdjevic-Lukic had a chance to comment on messages and statements given during Biden's visit to Serbia on Radion Belgrade 1's show called Novinarenje (August 17, 2016).

Svetlana Djurdjevic-Lukic gained significant working experience in New York for two years and published a book: Global Politics of the USA (2001-2012), Institute for International Politics and Economics, Belgrade, 2013,

and she produced a number of articles on the american politics, including "Foreign policy of Barack Obama's Administration: A new rhetoric or new course?", Medjunarodni problemi, Vol. LXI (2009), No.4, pp.. 455-494.
