Serbia fully supports One Belt One Road initiative

Belgrade, 3 December 2018

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that the One Belt One Road initiative will be remembered in history for its positive contribution to the global linking and economic development of all participating countries.

Speaking at the International Round Table One Belt One Road, Dacic said that the open character and the principle of equality on which this initiative is based should be highlighted, as it calls for the inclusion of all, even the smallest countries in its flows and projects, depending on the interests of those countries.

He recalled that Serbia is one of the first countries that fully supported this initiative when it was launched in 2013 and has been supporting it continuously ever since.

The geostrategic position of Serbia, as well as our extraordinary relations with China, enabled our country to be a significant point on the One Belt One Road route and to be included in a large number of infrastructure projects, Dacic said.

He explained that through this 21st century Maritime Silk Road, Serbia, although a continental country, will be connected to China via the Indian Ocean and the Aegean Sea, from the port of Piraeus, through the project of the Land-Sea Express Line through Greece and Macedonia, and via the fast Belgrade-Budapest railway whose construction is in progress, all the way to central and northern Europe.
