BELGRADE, Serbia — America’s top military officer traveled Monday to the only country in Europe ever bombed by NATO to seek increased cooperation between the armed forces of the U.S. and Serbia and a lessening of tensions over an independent Kosovo.
Adm. Mike Mullen is the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to visit Serbia.
Mullen and his Serbian counterpart, Gen. Zdravko Ponos, spoke appreciatively of the growing numbers of Serbian military officers attending war colleges in the U.S., as well as an unusual program in which the Ohio National Guard trains with Serbian units.
But the two top officers agreed that Kosovo was a divisive issue better left to politicians to resolve.
