In the days after the deadly tragedy that happened in Novi Sad, Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević, the former mayor of this city, traveled to China.
In solving the dilemma of whether to go on this path at all, the honor of the Prime Minister of Serbia attending a gathering in which representatives of more than 100 countries will participate prevailed, writes The new economy.
Vucevic will attend the import fair in Shanghai, which begins on November 5, with the Serbian delegation, and will have a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang as well as numerous officials participating in the fair. The Serbian delegation includes the Minister of Economy Adrijana Mesarović.
He said that he was looking forward to meeting the Prime Minister of China, with whom he will have a bilateral meeting on Tuesday, and tomorrow he will attend the reception that the Chinese Prime Minister will host for all delegations.
Attracting new investments
"Today we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mint Group, which has two factories in Serbia in Loznica and Šabac," Vučević told reporters and pointed out that it is a fully automated and robotic factory that works for the largest German and Japanese car manufacturers and that their desire to bring new investments in the field of development and logistics to Belgrade and Inđija.
He said that the company Mint Grupa, "a good story about Serbia", where it came in 2018, to Loznica and then to Šabac, where factories for the production of components for the automotive industry are located.
Serbia is opening its pavilion at the Shanghai fair on Tuesday, which will be, as Vucevic said, an opportunity to promote the country and attract new foreign investments.
The Prime Minister pointed out that Serbia has a correct relationship with all countries of the world and that he thinks that this is "in the interest of Serbia, Serbian politics, the Serbian economy and even all citizens".
Anti-Chinese hysteria
The Prime Minister stated that he did not want to participate in the "hysteria" surrounding Chinese companies after the accident at the train station in Novi Sad.
"I don't want to participate in this as I got the impression that all Chinese companies should be expelled or I don't know what, without any decision, assessment or analysis, I don't want to be part of that hysteria, and I'm afraid that some broader geopolitical story," said Vucevic.
He could not but refer to the issue of Kosovo and Metohija, an issue in which our steely friends from China "always support us".
"The People's Republic of China supports Serbia always and in all places, especially with the most sensitive issues, especially regarding Kosovo and Metohija. Serbia has an identical position in relation to China, because we recognize the People's Republic of China in relation to Taiwan and one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues of all mankind. We are grateful to China for its support during the vote on the resolution on Srebrenica", said Vučević.
"An accident can also happen in Croatia"
The Prime Minister pointed out that Serbia has a correct relationship with all countries of the world and that he thinks that this is "in the interest of Serbia, Serbian politics, the Serbian economy and even all citizens".
Vucevic said that he will talk with the Chinese prime minister about economic cooperation and new investments, as well as about political cooperation.
He said that this fair, which was supposed to be something in a beautiful atmosphere, got a different connotation because of the "black cloud of misfortune" that happened to Serbia, but that this is life and that he is sure that Serbia will continue to attract investments, and that companies will come. to make the country even more attractive.
He described the tragedy in Novi Sad as a reminder to everyone to start implementing better control over all facilities.
"You could even see in the Croatian media, one of their engineers said that this could happen in Croatia as well, because many buildings were built in the same period, such as the railway station in Novi Sad." But in the atmosphere of the hunt and the search for someone's head, you cannot approach as a victim, you cannot approach rationally", he said.
The tragedy mentioned by the Prime Minister of Serbia happened two days ago, when the canopy at the railway station in Novi Sad fell and caused the death of 14 people, while three are still in serious condition. Work on the station was carried out by two companies from China, China Railway International and China Communications Construction Company, and an investigation is ongoing.

Justice must never again depend on who is in power, because it applies to both "ours" and "theirs". The winners fought for it. Other affairs can wait, even if it is foreign policy - Europe is here, it will not run away
All this is the logical cause of Vučić's hysterical reaction to the mention of regulating the local media space. A mild attack on Prva and Informer televisions led to protests by "loyalists"
When "Because I say so" or "Because Freud says it differently" becomes a sufficient argument, it destroys in one fell swoop everything that has been worked on for several centuries: the importance of verification based on objective and rational parameters, respect for different points of view, a culture of dialogue, basic equality between people, replacing dogma with doubt and free research
The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade ordered the collection of information on reported abuses. We are looking for documentation from Partizan and the Football Association of Serbia, as well as checking whether the entire agreed amount has been paid to the club.
At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
