Serbia’s participation in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has boosted overall development of the country and its neighbors, said Serbia’s Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic.
Serbia is proud of its participation in the BRI, under which Chinese companies have undertaken many infrastructure projects in the country, the official told Xinhua in an interview.
Serbian officials are impressed by China’s transport infrastructure development and see the country as a model for economic growth, Vesic said.
“When you connect the country with railways and roads, then you have an easier population migration, you have greater mobility, and you have an even development of the region. So, everything that China has done, and what we in Serbia are, of course, trying to do, and because of that, we are recording quite high economic growth,” he said.
Vesic cited the high-speed railway between Belgrade and Budapest as an example of successful BRI cooperation.
