Serbian Trade Minister Tomislav Momirovic and Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao signed a free trade deal between the two countries at the Third Belt and Road Forum. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic hailed the deal as “a big step forward for us.”
Serbia is a candidate for EU membership. It will be interesting to see how Brussels reacts to the accord, which the EU cannot accept. Vucic said that before Serbia becomes a European Union member state, “we have to live … and we have to think about our country, our children and our future.”
