    2017/04/26 This is the sixth in a series of reports focusing on the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s proposed extensive trading route linking Asia, Europe and Africa. With a people of 7 million, roughly the same as a number of Chinese cities, Serbia will enjoy rapid economic increase, climbing from last year’s 2.8 % to 3.5 % in 2019, according to the World Bank. The bank’s new updates suggest the Balkan country’s prospects are even rosier than those of the European Union economies, which will average about 2 % a year. The promising outlook is half a result of the coun- try’s plan to become a regional transportation hub, which has seen Serbia deepen investment in roads, rails, the expansion of urban infrastructure and even construction of high-tech business parks — similar to the increase engines used in a number of cities in China.
