亚历山大·武契奇表示，塞尔维亚正在深化与华盛顿的关系，同时平衡与俄罗斯和中国的关系，坚定支持以色列，并抵制承认科索沃的呼吁。

塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇称，在唐纳德·特朗普总统任期内，塞尔维亚与美国的关系发生了戏剧性转变，他表示这一转变改变了塞尔维亚民众的看法——该国仍深深铭记着1999年北约轰炸行动的记忆。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道的独家专访中，武契奇赞扬了特朗普对巴尔干地区的政策，称本届政府注重经济合作而非政治施压的做法得到了许多塞尔维亚人的共鸣。“特朗普总统及其团队迄今为止在西巴尔干地区工作非常勤奋、投入，”武契奇说，并补充道，许多塞尔维亚人对他的政府的看法与往届美国政府截然不同。
“如果你让塞尔维亚民众比较克林顿政府和特朗普政府，或是民主党和共和党，你会不敢相信结果，”武契奇说。“比例会是90比10，或是95比5。”

这一对比在塞尔维亚尤为引人注目，许多民众仍将美国与1999年科索沃冲突期间北约的轰炸行动联系在一起。当时北约发动空袭，以制止塞尔维亚军队对科索沃阿族平民的镇压，这一事件仍是塞尔维亚现代史上最具影响的事件之一。
武契奇表示，他最近已邀请特朗普访问塞尔维亚，并预计这位美国总统将受到热烈欢迎。
“我希望我们能接待他，”武契奇说。“准备迎接他的民众会比他预想的还要多……我敢说，人数会超过数十万。”
这位塞尔维亚总统表示，美塞两国日益紧密的关系越来越集中在经济、投资和技术合作，以及双方共同的保守价值观上。
武契奇称，塞尔维亚和美国正准备启动一场战略对话，议题将涵盖能源、基础设施、人工智能、国防合作和投资机会。正在讨论的项目包括能源基础设施、液化天然气合作、数据中心和先进计算技术。

两国关系日益密切之际，塞尔维亚正力求将自身打造为地区经济中心，同时继续其长期以来加入欧盟的雄心。
武契奇以贝尔格莱德2027年世博会的筹备工作为例，证明塞尔维亚日益提升的国际地位和经济雄心——届时将有近150个国家参展。
武契奇自2014年出任总理、2017年当选总统以来，一直是塞尔维亚政坛的主导人物。他以该国的经济增长作为塞尔维亚转型的证据。“我出任总理时，我国的GDP为320亿欧元，”武契奇说。“今年这一数字将超过1000亿欧元，也就是1200亿美元。”

武契奇与特朗普的渊源可以追溯到特朗普的第一任期，当时白宫促成了塞尔维亚和科索沃之间的一系列经济正常化协议。特朗普政府并未首先解决极具政治争议的科索沃地位问题，而是强调基础设施项目、交通连接和投资，以改善双方的关系。
2020年9月，武契奇与时任科索沃总理阿夫杜拉·霍蒂在白宫签署了美国斡旋的经济协议，其中包括扩大铁路和公路连接、促进投资的承诺。特朗普将该协议描述为一项突破，称其通过关注“创造就业和经济增长”而非长期存在的政治争端达成。

当被问及如果承认科索沃独立能为塞尔维亚的经济未来解锁机遇、加速其欧盟成员国之路，他是否会考虑承认科索沃——科索沃于2008年宣布独立，得到了乔治·W·布什政府时期的美国以及大多数欧洲国家的承认——武契奇驳斥了这一前提，认为应先开展经济合作、改善关系，再讨论政治地位问题。
“我不是说我准备违反我国宪法……我一直愿意开展对话或寻求妥协方案，我一直愿意发展良好的经济关系，毫无疑问也愿意改善政治关系。但我从未谈及承认某个国家的独立，”他说。
尽管塞尔维亚仍在追求欧盟成员国身份，但该国也保持着与俄罗斯和中国的联系，这种平衡行为在俄罗斯发动乌克兰战争以及全球地缘政治紧张局势加剧的背景下受到了审视。

当被问及在日益分裂的世界中，塞尔维亚能否继续在东西方之间游走，或是最终需要选边站时，武契奇拒绝了国家必须在相互竞争的地缘政治阵营中做出选择的说法。相反，他以自己访问中国以及特朗普与北京接触为例，称其为以国家利益为核心的务实外交。
“特朗普总统访华并非出于虚荣心，”武契奇在谈及特朗普访华时说。“他带领美国所有顶尖人物前往那里，是为了开展更好的商业合作，为他们的公司赚更多钱。”

武契奇表示，他在自己的访问中也采取了类似的做法，称各国领导人应优先考虑本国公民的经济机遇，而非意识形态结盟。“我来自一个小国。我当时在争取更多投资，为我国人民的利益而奋斗，”他说。
这位塞尔维亚总统表示，同样的务实做法也应指导解决乌克兰和中东持续冲突的努力。
“千日谈判总好过一日战争，”他说。
当被问及伊朗紧张局势以及更广泛的中东冲突时，武契奇重申了塞尔维亚对以色列的支持，这一立场日益将贝尔格莱德与部分欧洲政府区分开来。
“我是这个国家的总统，塞尔维亚是欧洲极少数毫不犹豫与以色列开展合作的国家之一，”他说。“能够公开、坦诚地说出这一点，我们感到自豪。”
武契奇警告称，全球范围内反犹太主义正在抬头。
“有时看到大量反犹太主义口号和反犹太主义横幅，我会非常担忧，”他说。

“武契奇总统表示，塞尔维亚抵制了这些趋势，并承诺在他的任期内将继续这样做。”
“这种事在塞尔维亚不会发生，只要我还是总统，就永远不会发生。”

EXCLUSIVE: Serbian President Vučić says support for US ‘surged’ under Trump, invites him to visit Belgrade
June 10, 2026 5:58am EDT / Fox News
Vučić told Fox News Digital that relations with the US have undergone a dramatic transformation under the current administration

Aleksandar Vučić says Serbia is deepening ties with Washington while balancing relations with Russia and China, standing by Israel and resisting calls to recognize Kosovo.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić says relations between Serbia and the United States have undergone a dramatic transformation under President Donald Trump, a shift he says has changed public perceptions in a country where memories of the 1999 NATO bombing campaign remain deeply rooted.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Vučić praised Trump’s approach to the Balkans, arguing that the administration’s focus on economic cooperation rather than political pressure resonated with many Serbs. “President Trump and his team so far were working very diligently and dedicatedly on the Western Balkans,” Vučić said, adding that many Serbs view his administration very differently from previous U.S. governments.
“If you ask people in Serbia just to make a comparison between Clinton and Trump’s administration, or Democrats to Republicans, you wouldn’t believe it,” Vučić said. “It would be 90 to 10 or 95 to 5.”

The comparison is particularly striking in Serbia, where many still associate the United States with NATO’s 1999 bombing campaign during the Kosovo conflict, launched to stop Serbian forces’ crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and which remains one of the most consequential events in modern Serbian history.
Vučić said he recently extended an invitation to Trump to visit Serbia and predicted the American president would receive an enthusiastic welcome.
“I hope that we’ll be able to host him,” Vučić said. “More people will be ready to greet him and wait for him than he might even expect…I dare to say even more than hundreds of thousands of people.”
The Serbian president said the improving relationship between Washington and Belgrade is increasingly centered on economics, investment and technological cooperation, and mutual conservative values.
According to Vučić, Serbia and the United States are preparing to launch a strategic dialogue that will focus on energy, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, defense cooperation and investment opportunities. Among the projects under discussion are energy infrastructure, liquefied natural gas cooperation, data centers and advanced computing technologies.
EUROPEAN LEADER PRAISES TRUMP’S ‘PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH’ FOR KEEPING COUNTRY SAFE FROM CONFLICT

The growing relationship comes as Serbia seeks to position itself as a regional economic hub while continuing its long-standing ambition of joining the European Union.
Vučić pointed to preparations for Expo 2027 in Belgrade with nearly 150 participating countries, as evidence of Serbia’s growing international profile and economic ambitions.
Vučić, who has served as Serbia’s dominant political figure since becoming prime minister in 2014 and president in 2017, pointed to the country’s economic growth as evidence of its transformation. “Our GDP was 32 billion (euros) when I became the prime minister,” Vučić said. “This year it’s going to be over 100 billion euros., which is $120 billion.”

Vučić’s relationship with Trump dates back to the president’s first term, when the White House brokered a series of economic normalization agreements between Serbia and Kosovo. Rather than focusing first on the politically explosive question of Kosovo’s status, the Trump administration emphasized infrastructure projects, transportation links and investment aimed at improving ties between the two sides.
In September 2020, Vučić and then-Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti signed U.S.-brokered economic agreements at the White House that included commitments to expand rail and highway connections and promote investment. Trump described the deal as a breakthrough achieved by focusing on “job creation and economic growth” rather than longstanding political disputes.

Asked whether he would consider recognizing Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and has been recognized by the United States under President George W. Bush and most European countries, if doing so unlocked Serbia’s economic future and accelerated its path toward membership in the European Union, Vučić pushed back on the premise, arguing that economic cooperation and improved relations should come before discussions about political status.
“I’m not saying that I’m ready to violate my constitution… I have always been open to talks or compromising solutions, I have always been open to developing great economic ties and no doubt much better political ties. But I was not speaking about recognition of someone’s independence,” he said.
While Serbia continues to pursue membership in the European Union, the country has also maintained ties with Russia and China, a balancing act that has drawn scrutiny amid Russia’s war in Ukraine and growing geopolitical tensions worldwide.

Asked whether Serbia could continue navigating between East and West in an increasingly divided world or would eventually need to choose a side, Vučić rejected the notion that countries must choose between competing geopolitical camps. Instead, he pointed to both his own visit to China and Trump’s engagement with Beijing as examples of what he described as pragmatic diplomacy focused on national interests.
“President Trump didn’t go there because of his vanity,” Vučić said of Trump’s visit to China. “He brought with him all the leading people of the United States of America for making better businesses, for earning more money for their companies.”

Vučić said he adopted a similar approach during his own visit, arguing that leaders should prioritize economic opportunities for their citizens rather than ideological alignments. “I’m coming from a small country. I was asking for more investments and was fighting for the interests of my people,” he said.
The Serbian president said the same pragmatic approach should guide efforts to resolve ongoing conflicts in both Ukraine and the Middle East.
“It’s always better to have thousands of days of negotiations than one day of war,” he said.
Asked about tensions involving Iran and the wider conflict in the Middle East, Vučić reiterated Serbia’s support for Israel, a position that increasingly distinguishes Belgrade from some European governments.
“I am the president of the country that is one of the very rare countries in Europe that is not hesitating to cooperate and collaborate with Israel,” he said. “And it is proud to say this publicly and openly.”
Vučić warned about what he described as rising antisemitism around the world.
“From time to time, I’m very much afraid to see a lot of antisemitic slogans and antisemitic banners,” he said.

“The Serbian president said Serbia has resisted those trends and pledged that it would continue to do so under his leadership.”
“It does not happen in Serbia, and it won’t happen as long as I’m the president.”
