During the 80s, Claudia Tenney was the only American woman employed at the then Yugoslav Consulate General in New York City. She also visited the former Yugoslavia on several occasions, where she got acquainted with our culture and learned Serbian and Croatian.

Thanking the congresswoman for her support and membership in our Caucus, Djuric said that Claudia Tenney, as a former diplomatic colleague, is a true example of long-term and successful cooperation between the two countries, which this year marks a significant anniversary of 140 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations.
