Belgrade hosts exhibition on WWI Serbian-American allied relations

An exhibition titled ‘Allied Relations of the Kingdom of Serbia and the United States in the Great War’ has opened at the House of the Serbian Army in Belgrade. The exhibit documents the development of Serbian-American relations from 1914 to 1919.

Acting Assistant Minister for Budget and Finance, Goran Momčilović, representing Minister of Defence Bratislav Gašić, noted that the event coincides with a period where strategic dialogue between Serbia and the United States has elevated bilateral relations to their highest level in decades. He stated the exhibition aims to signal a shared intent to return relations to their traditional historical positions.

The opening also marks two decades of cooperation between the Serbian Army and the Ohio National Guard, an elite American unit that contributed to strategic operations on the European battlefield in late 1918. Major General Matthew Woodruff, commander of the Ohio National Guard, emphasized that the historical partnership was built on shared values of courage and service, noting both military and humanitarian cooperation during the war.
