US to relocate its Vatican Embassy to Rome

The saving is nothing, peanuts, chop change. There is a huge brand-new US embassy in Belgrade. It has 3 underground levels, 180 Americans (which department - no idea) work full-time. One wonders why so many? To protect the US Ambassador of Serbia? Yeah, Benghazi was a bad experience! You don't want to repeat that!

Citing security concerns and cost savings, the State Department announced the United States is closing its embassy in the Vatican City, and will relocate it to a building on the compound of the American Embassy to Italy in Rome. Vatican City is a sovereign city-state within the city of Rome. The relocation will save an estimated $1.4 million per year, the State Department said.
Critics, including former US representatives to the Holy See, say that it's important for countries to maintain separate embassies to the Vatican and to Rome. The announcement comes at the same time as the new pope, Pope Francis, criticized the free-market economy and trickle-down economics of the US. RT's
