The message reads as follows:

"I congratulate you on Independence Day - that is more than a holiday for the United States of America because it is a symbol of patriotism of the American people, as well as of its way of life.

This day is important for all US citizens, but also for all those who share with them everlasting values of freedom and equality written in the Declaration of Independence 244 years ago.

Your country's history, as you said, is "an epic tale of a great nation whose people have risked everything for what they know is right and what they know is true." That is is an honor for me that Serbia was on the same side as the US in difficult historical moments, on the side of truth and justice.

In the previous period, we celebrated important common anniversaries and bright examples of our alliance, and now once again, in a time of an unprecedented challenge, we stood by each other in a fight for health.

Allow me to extend my gratitude for the help that the US provided to Serbia in fighting coronavirus, as well as my belief that the great American nation will overpower this big challenge and continue even more resolutely on the path of progress and wellbeing, in order to achieve its plans for the future in accordance with the common vision of a more peaceful humankind.

I am encouraged by the fact that you pay attention to the developments in today's Balkans, by supporting peace and stability in the region. Serbia wants to bring its relations with the US back to the level of true partnership, and that is why I hope that we will have the opportunity to host you in Serbia, to remember together those things that connect us and for you to get to know better the nation that produced Nikola Tesla and Mihajlo Pupin, Serbs who became American citizens, who indebted the entire world.

Your Excellency, please accept my sincere congratulations on your national holiday, my cordial regards and assurances of my special appreciation."
