Serbian President Boris Tadic came to the United States to meet with other world leaders and speak at the United Nations. Thanks to honorary consul of the Republic of Serbia Alex Machaskee, President Tadic spent a few days in Cleveland, Ohio meeting with Ohio Governor Strickland, US Senator Voinovich and US Congressman Kucinich as well as members of the Serbian-American community. President Tadic was the guest of honor at a reception Sunday evening at the Key Center Marriot. The multilingual Tadic told how he was surprised at the number of Cleveland people with ties to Serbia and other areas of the former Yugoslavia.
