The guests enjoyed “live music”, which the public knew when Grenel posted a video from the ship on his Twitter account.
“Serbs and Americans singing about Alabama and West Virginia is an incredible night,” he said.
As you can see, with a rich menu, distinguished guests clap from their seats to the beat of the song “Take me home, country roads”, which was performed in the original version by John Denver.
Among those who sang were Vučić and Finance Minister Siniša Mali, while Prime Minister Ana Brnabić commented with a smile, “hitting the beat” with her hand on the table.
The president of Serbia posted several photos on his Instagram account “The Future of Serbia”, followed by words of thanks not only to Trump’s envoy, but also to Donald Trump personally.
“Thanks to Richard Grenel for his dedication and good work for the whole region. And thanks for the wonderful gift”, it is said with the photo of the boat in which Vučić poses in the company of Grenel, holding the book “The White House through of History “, which was delivered to him by an American official.
The contrast in style is striking, as Vučić is dressed in a navy blue jacket and white shirt, while Grenel wears a more casual style, in a thin, navy-patterned sweatshirt, with a glass of white wine in hand. .
The photos also capture the moment the Serbian president hands over a stylized wooden box of wines to Adam Boler, executive director of the American International Development Finance Corporation (DFC).
“Welcome to Adam Boler with good Serbian wines,” it says with that ad.
The aforementioned photograph also shows the US Ambassador to Serbia, Anthony Godfrey, photographing Vučić and Boler on his mobile phone.
Later in the evening, Vučić’s followers on Instagram were informed that Grenel presented him with a personal gift from the President of the United States. In that photo, Vučić studies the empty bottle with a smile, with the comment: “From the presidential residence at Camp David, straight to Serbia! A personal gift from President Trump.”
As announced, Trump’s gift is a bottle of wine that the president of Serbia is delighted with.
