Tadic's speech came only days after US Ambassador for War Crimes Issues Pierre Richard Prosper and US Undersecretary of State Marc Grossman visited Belgrade.
Tadićevo obraćanje usledilo je samo nekoliko dana nakon posete Beogradu američkog ambasadora za pitanja ratnih zločina Pjera Rišara Prospera i podsekretara američkog Stejt departmenta Marka Grosmana.
