AN HONEST CONFESSION

‘Serbian is not easy to learn.’

Are you learning Serbian? How is it coming along?

Serbian is a fascinating language, but I must admit it is not easy to learn. I know the basics of everyday communication and how to give a compliment or two. I will give it my best to improve my knowledge of Serbian. When I first met ministers Vulin and Dačić, after I said hello in Serbian and they responded in the same language, I realized how complex your language is. Regardless, I will continue to give it my best and, who knows, maybe one day I will surprise myself. For now, I can say that I am putting in a lot effort and that things are going “wellissimo”.

The coronavirus pandemic caught up with you here.

As I have been in Belgrade since the start of the pandemic, I would like to mention one thing that is dear to my heart. The generosity and solidarity that your country has shown by sending medical equipment to Italy touched me deeply. Italians will always remember and carry in their hearts what you did for us. Thank you.
