Congratulations to Ambassador Godfrey @usambserbia who, I have the impression, does his job as ambassador well and with skill. But these compliments irresistibly remind me, just diplomatically well packaged, the version of that old folk wisdom: “Hit a donkey while it’s in the mud” https://t.co/5XDfhbbKlv
