China's President Xi in Serbia: Where Does Beijing Fit into Belgrade's Future?
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 05. 2024
- As Serbia prepares to welcome China’s President Xi Jinping, this week The Agenda heads to Belgrade to examine what’s been called the ironclad friendship between the two nations.
Juliet Mann examines how one of the largest economy in the region has managed to post growth figures which far outstrip its EU neighbours, how its managing the road to net zero, and just where China fits in to its future plans.
She speaks exclusively to Jorgovanka Tabaković, the Governor of the National Bank of Serbia, and to Serbia’s Minister for Mining and Energy, Dubravka Đedović.

You have to love the Slavic people. They are not afraid to speak their minds, tell it as they see it and do what are best for their country. "This EU waiting room is so long. ... it is easiest to hold a man captive by making him wait ... We need to think first about our own citizens and economy ..." Can't say the same about other parts of Europe, blindly becoming cannon fodder for the US empire.
Serbia being always on the right side of history., brave, honoured nation, never agressor or colonial power, just protected themselves. Imagine the country populated just approximately 7 millions, half of London City!for example, or Moscow if u like, to be in the middle, between the most powerful countries on the Globe, being neutral in the time when Switzerland, Sweden, etc. taking one side, which were neutral for 2 centuries and therefore so much rich, while Serbia was attacked so many times by the biggest powers on the Earth, forced to fight for freedom every each generation, loosing almost half of male population in WW1 and WW2, and lately being shelled by nato damaged approximately 100 billions USD. Wow! Just wow!
Koje Slovenske Narode??
Samo su Srbi i Rusi sa svojim mišljenjem i suverenitetom.
Ostali su svi samo marionete i vazali.
@@milenkosputnijik Very true !
Not all slavs are the same.. Serbs are different from other slavs.
You can't honestly believe that Serbian reliance on China and Russia comes without a cost... To be honest, if the feeling of your society is so much against the EU, then you should simply stop with the joining EU proces completely. But to be honest, it is benetitial for Serbia at this point to act as neutral and "sit on 2 (3) chairs", getting love and affection from Russia, technologies from China and investments and development funds money from EU...
I’m not a Chinese or a Serb but I believe that China is the right partner for Serbia especially for Serbia’s green energy implementation and security.
What green energy? Bunch of virtue signaling and nonsense.
How?Can you explain this?Im from Serbia
Hopefully that will attract more auto investment like in Hungary. Everywhere else is too challenging and costly and corrupt
@@KARADJORDJIJEDo you konw how many construction in Serbia is build by China
Serbia started 3 aggressive wars to take more Land 30 years ago. So that is bs. They still havent gave up.
The governor of Serbia is a wise lady. With people like her in charge of Serbia, the country will not go wrong. Long live Serbia-China relationship.
With people like this in charge there will be soon no more Serbia.
Serbia joining the EU would be a mistake due to the negative dictates impacting Serbian politics; economics; society and maintaining the independence of Serbia. BRICS would be a better option.
Yes,BRICS is a better option.
More on the access to the wider European market.
But one should consider current leaderships inside Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Spain and even Poland and Bulgaria.
They are currently one of the more vocal critics of current EU Commission policies
@@ninastevanovic6808Well Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein opted for a smaller European Free Trade Association (EFTA) over joining the EU.
Türkiye even see it as an alternative option.
Agree,but we are surrounded by EU members,and it would be hard for our country to maintain independent politics , especially today, because of tensions with Russia.
They already decided to join the EU and that's why they recognized Kosovo and are buying the Deasoult Raphale airplanes.Tjis is just a show for the Serbian people that think they will change to BRICS way.
Serbia’s government is very smart to keep a friendly and open foreign and economic policy with all countries, in including China, India and Russia. Much of the EU, with the exception of Hungary, Poland and Ireland, are facing major energy and economic issues. Good one Serbia for gorging its own independent path. Sovereignty must feel so sweet to the Serbians; as it should.

The western governments are so angry at serbia because of this 😂
Go cry , serbia has the right to choose it's own foreign policies. Just like switzerland. You showed us your true colors when handling kosovo. Our civilians are harrased and killed every day and nobody is doing anything. But you wont let us handle it. We have monasteries down there older than notre dame but somehow kosovo is still rightfully albanian 😂😂
It's not worth explaining the truth to these evil souls, they know the truth don't worry but will never admit it! Kosovo ☦️🇷🇸
the entire Serbian government is under the control of the West
I am shocked to see European politicians who are not ideologues and actually work for the interest of their citizens.
Serbian people are not like other European peope, we think with our head
Serbia should consider replacing the IMF loans with China development loans in order to avoid negative dictates impacting Serbian politics; economics; society and maintaining the independence of Serbia.
We are considering ,in fact most of the big infrastructure projects were financed from Chinese loans .
Serbia didnt withdraw any IMF funds for years now...
@@perkelegenda I was not aware. Serbia should avoid the IMF / World Bank.
I hope Serbia joins BRICS+. Also Serbia can align with Hungary and Slovakia and Russia and China.
People need to be aware Serbia doesent make it own currency dinar, its the IMF that makes it and charges us heavily for every banknote. We are not independant economicaly but what you're seeing here is us trying to break free. Hope it works out.

"We do it by overcapacity".
Reporter:
"Please explain?"
Jorgovanka Tabaković:
"It means cleaver planning, forward vision, and above all, avoid the US like a plague !"

No. She praised IMF.

@@sinisatrifunovic4232 ; she called them ''strict'' which implies ''responsible''. I would have used: dubious, devious, satanic, vampiric, exploitative, extortionate, imperial, neo-colonial... She said her goal is to attract ''institutional investors'', which is coded language for hedge funds TO BUY and Serbia to SELL-OFF EVERYTHING, land, minerals, assets and state corporations. Its the core doctrine of neo-liberalism, but the problem is the game is rigged as the hedge funds use free USD printed money.. Its a scam. Her goal SHOULD BE to support and facilitate domestic manufacturers and exporters grow. I'm a finance guy, I know the game.
So smart and articulate. Everything she said makes sense. Unlike the nonsense from the E.U. and U.S. politicians.
She's picked every word VERY carefully as to not show the actual truth about Serbia's broken economy. Don't buy this.

very coherent answer from the interviewee. answering the questions head on.
Mz Tabakovic, you sound like a wolf in the sheep's skin, So rational and down to earth, and then 💥, joining the EU and 💥 Euro.... As an economist, your statement is hard to swallow, you know well how the EU project ended up and is ending up...
great thinking from Serbia
This is a wonderful thought and a peace of mind. Serbia decision shall have a bright and growing future ahead of them a path to prosperity willl come to Serbia on all development. Serbia is a small country and landlocked. But it has people to people ties which must remain stronger down the road with the right leaderships and decision wise. My country of Laos is also landlocked and we know how it is to be in everyone situations when it erupt. The Western powerful countries aren't there to help the Serbian people nor its future. They only looking up their own interest and not the interest of Serbia and the people.
Respect for a smart comment from Serbia ❤
I heard that Laos has the highest bombed-by-US density per person. Meaning USA dropped, I think, 3,000 bombs per citizen of Laos. True?
@@nikolaforzane2285 Yes that's true. That is why you don't hear much about U.S relationship with Laos because the U.S is trying to bury the past and avoid anything related to Laos and the people. It's ben over 50 years that the U.S has no big notice about Laos. But China been supporting Laos and has been noticing Laos at the highest international stages on a positive note compared to the U.S.

Bravo Serbia so very happy and proud of you my beautiful heritage❤
We all believe in Serbia that the old civilization China knows exactly what he’s doing. China is a lot older than England or the English colony so who they have civilization only between two and 300 years so you better take care of yourself before you talk about China!!!
Excellent interview. She should be the next PM of Serbia and even the EU, if they ever join up.
Excellent interview.
Bravo G.Tabakovic,veeliki Respekt!!!
When a partnership is win-win and both sides benefits it is a good productive partnership. People should know by now Politics and Business is like oil and water they never mix well.
Serbia may be on the list for joining brics in 2025.
The world can see building relationship with China is mainly for trade which ultimately brings properity to both countries. On the other hand, buiding relationship with USA is mainly for military, i.e allowing the establishing of military base and buying of weapons from US untimately causing unrest to the country and subservient to US.
US uses its military base in one country to control the same country when necessary either militarily or economically. To ensure that the colonised country do not do well & always subservient to US. That’s US motto.
Svaka pohvala za ovaj intervju! Bravo Gospodjo Tabakovic za ovaj odgovor.

We have reduced unemployment from 25% down to 9%. Fantastic achievement. One of the ways to do so was that majority of young, highly educated people as well as those who are experienced doctors, engineers, IT specialists etc, have left Serbia and went to EU, US, CAN, AUS, and Middle East.

Our parliament building is one of the prettiest buildings in Serbia. It's a shame it's full of idiots.
She’s a liability to Serbia I can tell. She uses a lot of words but does not say anything. Unlike other Serbian leaders who are direct and say what they mean. I think she’s learning more towards EU. She left china out of the conversation despite china being the sole and only reason Serbia is doing ok right now. They would be begging on the stairs of the EU if not for the great Middle Kingdom coming to aid Serbia.
I can feel that too
Serbia never begs nobody but god! ☦️🇷🇸
No, she said everything in a nice and respectful way using respectful diplomatic language. She is one of the reasons that we are so successful today, and rest assured that she would never begging anyone, just as no other Serb would do it, those who think like that don't know Serbs and don't understand Serbian mentality. There are almost the same number of women as men in the Serbian government, and our women are the ones who make a big contributing. Her rhetoric is moderate, not passionately and primitive, so with her rhetoric she said exactly the same thing as those politicians who are more direct and passionate. She didn't leave Chinese out of the conversation, in fact she always connected and attributed Serbian success to excellent relations with China and the fact that the Chinese never politically blackmailed us or conditioned us to anything, on the contrary, in the interview she said in an indirect way that The Chinese don't blackmail their partners the way the West does. In this interview, she nicely said that Serbia fulfilled all 30 accession conditions for joining the EU, but the EU started adding new requirements that were not in the original agreement, which means that the EU started blackmailing us, but regardless to this, Serbia is still on its way to the EU and still fulfills the given tasks, thus showing its seriousness and honesty, until we can say the same about the EU and the West in general. So this is what is evident from what she said.

Serbia has been one of the poorest European countries for the last 30 plus years and has downgraded its status from democracy into hybrid regime a few years ago. Very interesting how Serbian officials see those facts.

"hybrid regime", lol. We all know where this term was invented. And why.
By the way, it doesn't really mean anything.
Hybrid regime is not just a phrase. It is not democracy. It is a system in which people have a right to vote, but voting outcome never changes. Same people stay in power forever, generally followed by media control and massive street protests.
