Mark Brnovic, who was a candidate for US ambassador to Serbia, has stated that the 'Deep State' prevented him from taking office.
"I want to thank the president (Donald Trump) for the nomination, but as the process dragged on, it became clear that the 'deep state' bureaucrats do not want someone with my political, ethnic and religious background to serve in Serbia. I believe that staying close to family and friends in Arizona and finding opportunities to play a greater role domestically is the best path at this time," Brnovic told Serbian Times.
Trump nominated Brnovic, a Republican and former state attorney general and Senate candidate from Arizona, in late March. Although the nomination reached the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Brnovic did not appear before the committee.
The Trump administration officially withdrew Brnovic's nomination on Friday. The reasons were not disclosed. The United States has not had an ambassador to Belgrade since January, when Christopher Hill left the post.
