Former Diplomat Claims Trump Team Revisiting Sensitive “Serbia–Vučić” Files

A former diplomat has sparked political debate after alleging that Donald Trump’s circle is re-examining a sensitive portfolio labeled “Serbia – Aleksandar Vučić,” suggesting renewed U.S. scrutiny of Belgrade’s political direction and its longstanding relationship with Washington.

According to the diplomat, discussions within Trump-aligned foreign policy advisers have intensified in recent weeks, focusing on Serbia’s geopolitical balancing act, its ties with Russia, and President Aleksandar Vučić’s domestic consolidation of power. The diplomat claims that Trump’s advisers want a “clearer picture” of Serbia’s commitments as the administration outlines its broader regional strategy.

The reported review comes at a moment of heightened tension across the Balkans, with pressure mounting on governments to clarify their positions amid global shifts in U.S. policy priorities. Analysts say any renewed interest from Washington could influence Serbia’s political landscape, particularly as Vučić navigates between Western expectations and his own domestic agenda.

While details of the alleged file remain unknown, the diplomat suggested it includes assessments of Serbia’s security posture, economic partnerships, and communications involving senior officials. He also hinted that Trump’s advisors may reassess previous agreements related to Kosovo, energy cooperation, and military engagement.

Belgrade has not commented on the claims, and it remains unclear whether the purported review represents formal U.S. policy or internal discussions among Trump-linked figures.

Still, the remarks have fueled speculation in both Serbia and the wider region about what a revived U.S. focus on Vučić might mean. Critics warn that such moves could increase political pressure on Belgrade, while others argue it may open the door to fresh diplomatic engagement.

For now, the allegations add yet another layer of uncertainty to an already shifting geopolitical environment, leaving observers watching closely for the next signal from Washington.
