Dear President Donald Trump,
Dear President Vladimir Putin,
Dear President Xi Jinping,
I am addressing you as a man who has spent his entire life building — factories, companies, and bridges between people and nations — believing that the economy is a stronger foundation for the world than any conflict.
Today, humanity stands at a great historical crossroads.
The world is divided, nations are fearful, economies are shaken, and the wars in Ukraine, the Middle East, and other parts of the world threaten to push the entire planet into a period of long-term instability and danger unlike anything modern civilization has ever known.
At the same time, the three of you represent leaders who today possess the power to change the course of history.
America, China, and Russia are not merely great powers. They are the three pillars without which it is impossible to build a new world peace and a new global economic stability.
President Trump, you have shown that you believe in the power of the economy, industry, and agreements — not only in the politics of confrontation.
President Putin, you have opened the question of a new global architecture and a world in which there will no longer be only one center of power, but a balance among civilizations and nations.
President Xi, you have demonstrated that long-term strategy, hard work, discipline, and economic development can lift hundreds of millions of people and transform the global economy.
That is why today, more than ever before, humanity does not need a new Cold War.
Humanity needs a new agreement among the great powers.
An agreement that will guarantee peace, economic cooperation, the free development of nations, technological progress, and global security.
No nation desires war.
People want jobs, security, family, dignity, and a future for their children.
That is precisely why I believe history could remember this moment as the moment in which you had the choice between a new era of divisions and confrontation, or a new era of agreement, development, and peace.
Today, the World needs bridges, not new walls.
It needs factories more than front lines.
It needs schools more than trenches.
It needs jobs more than sanctions.
As a man coming from Serbia — a country that throughout history has experienced both the cost of war and the value of peace — I believe that great leaders remain truly great only when they leave behind peace, stability, and progress.
Let the 21st century not become a century of destruction.
Let it become the century of cooperation among great civilizations.
I am convinced that you possess both the strength and the historic responsibility to become the architects of such a world.
Sincerely,
Bogoljub Karić
