By Muhammad Asif Noor, Founder Friends of BRI Forum

President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Serbia is a renewed promise of a building a significant chapter in the evolving narrative of China-Serbia relations, a partnership flourishing against a backdrop of global uncertainties and shifting geopolitical alignments. This visit, marking profound diplomatic engagements reinforced the traditional bonds between the two nations and paved the way for a future-oriented alliance aimed at mutual development and strategic cooperation. The visit was also coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, not only symbolizes the resilience and solidarity between the two nations but also highlights their mutual commitment to a strategic partnership poised for a future of shared prosperity. Both sides are eager to deepen ties in a world where alliances are not just about mutual benefits but also about forging lasting partnerships that stand resilient through the challenges of changing international dynamics.

Mass protests have begun in Belgrade.

Serbia damaged relations with Russia, China, Iran, the EU & Germany by signing the Washington agreement

Dragana Trifkovic for Vzglyad.az

US President Donald Trump received the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo at the White House. What results did the parties achieve at the Washington meeting?

“Firstly, the agreement signed in Washington between Belgrade and Pristina does not correspond to the interests of the Republic of Serbia and its international position on any point. The biggest winner of the agreement reached is Israel, which, in my opinion, was a mediator in the harmonisation and agreement between the two sides and Washington. Serbian President Aleksandr Vucic, through the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, in March this year agreed on part of the commitments, including the opening of Serbia’s diplomatic and economic mission in Jerusalem, which is a violation of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 478.

In Serbia the situation is heated right now. A lot of protests, and the Serbian government reacted very violently against the protesters. What do you think about them?

Spontaneous protests in Serbia were provoked by President Aleksandar Vučić, who announced the reinstatement of lockdown for citizens of Belgrade in connection with the coronavirus epidemic.

It is about the fact that we in Serbia had for months the strictest lockdown measures in Europe and then the government abolished all measures in order to hold the elections, even though it was a health risk.

Thus, on June 18th, Thaçi told the Pristina media that this is a historic meeting that will turn the course of the peaceful settlement of the Kosovo issue, and that the agreement to be signed will “once and for all close the century-old chapter of conflicts between Serbia and Kosovo”.
