Statement Concerning Incident Involving President Tadic's Motorcade

The U.S. Embassy greatly regrets the incident that occurred the night of November 30 between President Tadic's motorcade and one of its off-duty local employees.

From the moment it was determined that the employee was involved in the incident, the Embassy immediately contacted Serbian Government officials and offered its assistance.

The Embassy does not intend to comment any further on what is a private matter between its employee (a Serbian citizen), his attorney, and Serbian authorities.

Izjava povodom incidenta sa konvojem Predsednika Tadića

Američka ambasada izražava veliko žaljenje povodom incidenta koji se desio 30. novembra uveče između konovoja automobila Predsednika Tadića i jednog svog lokalno zaposlenog službenika van radnog vremena.

Od momenta kada je utvrđeno da je službenik umešan u incident, ambasada je odmah kontaktirala službenike Vlade Srbije i ponudila svoju pomoć.

Ambasada ne namerava da dalje komentariše o privatnoj stvari svog službenika (državljanina Srbije i Crne Gore), njegovog advokata i srpskih vlasti.
