U.S. official Philip Gordon says that Serbia and the United States improved their bilateral relations

A visiting U.S. State Department official said on Wednesday that Serbia and the United States had improved their bilateral relations.

They shared the same vision of Serbia in the European Union, said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Gordon.

Gordon also noted that the bar had been set high for EU membership but that the doors were not closed for Serbia.

The Union has become bigger and more careful with every new member, and certain members experience the enlargement fatigue. However, I do not think that that the doors have been shut on Serbia. The U.S. believes they should not be closed, Gordon said in an interview for the Radio and Television of Serbia (RTS).

According to him, the U.S. does not think the conditions for accession have either changed or should change.
