International Stopover Rules
I am trying to book an international award ticket from Belgrade to Chicago, stopover in Chicago, then continue to either New York or San Francisco? One -way trip.
Can this be done? I want to do it at the Saver level, but it can be on any of the three major alliances. If so, on which carrier(s) (DL, AA, UA).

Really? On a single, one-way award? AAdvantage no longer permits any free stopovers; Mileage Plus only permits them on roundtrip award tickets. Not sure about Sky Miles, but I don't think that it permits a stopover on one-way awards either.

You may want to separate these out and do a Belgrade-Chicago on one ticket and Chicago-NYC on Avios or Southwest on another ticket.
ETA: You can also do a cash flight intra-US, they are pretty cheap as long as you book far enough in advance.
