Statement on Alleged Meeting with U.S. Embassy Officials

Recent statements alleging that the Embassy was approached with a proposal to remove Mr. Miroslav Miskovic from a so-called "visa blacklist" in exchange for political favors are unfounded.

The U.S. Embassy has no knowledge of any such offer, has had no meetings with any parties on the subject and would not consider entertaining such an offer if it were made.

Issuance or denial of visas is governed solely by the provisions of U.S. immigration law. Decisions on an individual's eligibility cannot and will not be negotiated.

The U.S. Embassy does not comment on individual visa cases. Federal law prohibits us from doing so in order to protect the privacy of applicants.

Izjava o navodnom sastanku sa službenicima ambasade SAD

Nedavne izjave, u kojima se tvrdi da je ambasadi SAD nuđeno da sa takozvane "vizne crne liste" skine gospodina Miroslava Miškovića u zamenu za političke usluge, su netačne.

Ambasadi SAD nije poznat takav predlog, nisu održani sastanci sa bilo kojom pomenutom stranom, niti bi se takva vrsta predloga uzela u razmatranje.

Samo američki imigracioni zakon definiše pitanja izdavanja ili uskraćivanja viza. Odluke o pojedinačnim slučajevima ne mogu i neće biti predmet pregovora.

Ambasada SAD ne komentariše pojedinačne zahteve za izdavanje viza. Federalni zakon sprečava nas da to činimo kako bi se zaštitila privatnost podnosioca zahteva.
