"We'd like to see President Xi because we consider him as a true friend. And he'll see dedicated approach and the real love from Serbian people because China has always been on the side of international public law, always being supportive to us, as we have always been supportive to China. I believe this visit will create beautiful opportunities for Serbian people. And regarding the Belt and Road Initiative created by President Xi, we found ourselves in the middle of that way, trying and still striving to find our own happiness within that initiative. And we are very happy that we became a part of that initiative. And the big friend is coming to Serbia and I'm honored and privileged to hosting him together with two European countries. And I hope that he'll feel at home here in Serbia."
