No need for diplomatic status for SRHC - US embassy

BELGRADE - The US embassy in Belgrade has said there is no need to give diplomatic status to the personnel of the Serbian-Russian Humanitarian Centre (SRHC) in Nis, southern Serbia.

"We can confirm that US Embassy representatives visited the Nis Centre on July 12 at the invitation of the Centre's management. The press release issued by the Centre following that visit was not coordinated with US Embassy, not does it reflect US views," the embassy said in a statement sent to Tanjug.
