China’s Xi Jinping visits Serbia to mark the anniversary of the 1999 NATO bombings

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Serbia on Tuesday evening, escorted by MIG-29 jets, for a tightly secured visit that coincided with the 25th anniversary of the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in which three Chinese journalists were killed.

Belgrade is the second stop after France on Xi’s first visit to Europe in five years, which also includes Hungary. In Serbia, seen as China’s most important partner in the Balkans, Xi is expected to discuss China’s multi-billion dollar investments in the country and possible new deals.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and government officials welcomed Xi at Belgrade airport, where he was greeted by a military honor guard and folk dancers. The two leaders will meet on Wednesday.
