During his China visit, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic toured Xiaomi and said that if the EV manufacturer expands into Europe, "its first stop should be Serbia." Jelena Grubor Stefanovic, director of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's representative office in China, says China's strength in EVs and smart manufacturing offers valuable experience, while Serbia brings established industrial capacity and engineering talent. For Serbia, she argues, cooperation with Chinese companies is not just about importing EVs, but about joining the future European smart mobility supply chain.
