How Liberland can further U.S. interests in the Balkans

Liberland's no-tax, pro-business environment makes it an investment destination and serves as a model for economic freedom. Academic studies show that Liberland can catalyse regional growth, potentially boosting moribund neighboring economies' GDP by up to 2% through spillover effects of increased trade and investment. Our regional development plan will benefit our neighbors and offer tremendous opportunities for U.S. companies looking to invest or export. 

Liberland, an ambitious, aspiring country located between Serbia and Croatia on the Danube River, has garnered attention as a beacon of freedom in the Balkans. Inspired by American Founding Fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, our commitment to individual liberty, free markets, the rule of law, and truly limited government echoes American values in the region.

Despite its modest size, Liberland’s resonance in pro-freedom and crypto circles allows it to wield significant influence. It inspires citizens and policymakers in the Balkans with laws that preserve and enlarge personal freedoms and economic liberty, in contrast with governance models which reward special interests and stifle economic growth.

Recognition of Liberland can strategically bolster US interests in the Balkans in several ways:

  • Further economic stability and growth: Liberland's no-tax, pro-business environment makes it an investment destination and serves as a model for economic freedom. Academic studies show that Liberland can catalyse regional growth, potentially boosting moribund neighboring economies by up to 2% of their GDP through spillover effects of increased trade and investment. Our regional development plan will benefit our neighbors and offer tremendous opportunities for U.S. companies looking to invest or export. 
  • Drive innovation: By fostering an environment ripe for entrepreneurship, Liberland can serve as an innovation hub that drives technological advancements beneficial to both the U.S. and the Balkans. Many Liberland citizens and supporters are leaders in innovation, blockchain and high-tech industries.
  • Diplomatic and social leverage: Liberland can serve as an informal yet influential channel for dialogue, enhancing American diplomacy by promoting security, freedom, and countering authoritarianism in the Balkans. Liberlanders have been active in the region for ten years and can communicate ideas of liberty in ways that are sensitive to local identities and national aspirations.

The Liberland delegation proudly attended the inauguration of President Trump in January 2025. We feel we can work together on many policy issues on which we are aligned. 

How the U.S. can help Liberland:

Persuade Croatia it is in their interest to allow a pro-western, pro-market community that is friendly to Croatia to develop next door. Cooperating on the Liberland issue will bring considerable investment, jobs and tourism to the region - something they have sadly been standing in the way of.

Allow Americans to visit the area: Currently, Croatia allows EU and Schengen citizens to visit Liberland but not Americans, British, Canadians, et cetera. Americans and citizens of other allied nations who want to visit the area are summarily expelled from Croatia. The US gives considerable aid to Croatia and there is no reason they should treat Americans in this manner.

Diplomatic support for Liberland in international organizations and among the community of nations. Explore the creation of trade, tax and other agreements with Liberland. 

Establishing relations with Liberland is not just about affirming a small nation; it is about championing a vision of the world that aligns with traditional U.S. values and strategic goals for peace in the region. 

By supporting Liberland, the U.S. can help stabilize and economically invigorate the Balkans, reinforcing positive U.S. influence in a region that has been pivotal in its global affairs.
