United States Ambassador To Serbia
This is a list of ambassadors of the United States to Serbia. Some parts of today's Serbia had been under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire (from 1459 until 1804) while other parts were occupied by Habsburg monarchy (1526–1804), Austrian Empire (1804–1867), and Austria-Hungary (1867-1918).

After the Montenegrin independence referendum in May 2006, Serbia, as the only remaining unit in the federation, also became independent on 5 June 2006. The United ...

Ambassadors Of The United States To Estonia
This is a list of ambassadors of the United States to Estonia. The United States has maintained continuous official diplomatic relations with Estonia (as well as Latvia and Lithuania) since 1922, when one ambassador, resident in Riga, Latvia, was appointed to all three nations.
