Today we drove from Serbia to eastern Kosovo, stopping in at MOEA Farm—a longtime

The young people I hiked with here in Kosovo give me hope for the future. Despite different backgrounds, they share a strong desire for normalcy, and peace & prosperity for their communities. We have a responsibility to urgently deliver on this for them & the generations ahead.

Great excitement and buzz at Belgrade’s ICT Hub, a
@USAID
-supported incubator for tech entrepreneurship that is now a key part of Serbia’s thriving tech scene. The country’s IT sector grew by 45% last year, and it was inspiring to meet some of the people powering this innovation.

Met w/investigative journalists in Serbia to discuss the difficult landscape they face as reporters committed to elevating stories that challenge public perception. Some spend multiple days in court each month fighting lawsuits. I thanked them for their essential work.

Heartbreaking visit to memorial at Vladislav Ribnikar School in Belgrade to the 8 children, aged 11-14, & beloved guard killed there last week. Teddy bears, soccer balls & classmate tributes. No one should experience the pain Serbians are feeling. I extend my deepest condolences.

To celebrate #ForeignAffairs Day, Clinton White
@CounselorUSAID
—the Agency's most senior foreign service officer—answers the question: What has been the most meaningful part of being a member of the USAID Foreign Service?
Pictogram with a photo of USAID Counselor Clinton White. Quote text reads: "I see worth in everyone. I see beauty in everyone both inside and outside. We have the inner strength to overcome any situation in life. Don’t let anything in your past determine your future. We have all made mistakes, myself included, but we can set a new course and the programs that we have can ensure that everyone has a chance for a better life, if YOU want it."

Democracy and accountable governance depend on a vibrant free press, capable of producing timely and accurate information on the issues that matter to the communities it serves. #WorldPressFreedomDay
USAID believes that media are the lifeblood of democracy and the means through which citizens and their elected representatives communicate in their reciprocal efforts to inform and influence.

In a world where infringement on freedom of expression and media freedom has long been a key driver of global democratic decline, USAID is expanding support to free press— recognizing the vital role independent media play in democratic systems.
