Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping at Serbia Palace.

The red flags start at Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport and run all the way along the motorway into the centre of Serbia’s capital.
This is Serbia’s way of showing that it is proud of its “ironclad friendship” with China – and welcoming Xi Jinping to Belgrade.
At the Western City Gate, more commonly known as the Genex Tower, one entire tower is draped in China’s national colours.
Just for good measure, there is a billboard for Hisense, the Chinese home appliances manufacturer which opened a refrigerator factory in Valjevo, western Serbia, last year.
In some parts of Europe, the Chinese president’s itinerary might have raised eyebrows. After all, it is not often that Serbia finds itself as part of a three-stop tour by an international leader of such stature.
But Serbia has been deepening its relationship with China in recent years, even as it continues with negotiations to join the European Union.
