月月上热搜
“中國与塞尔维亚签署驾驶证互认换领协议。根据协议，中国与塞尔维亚双方承认对方核发的有效驾驶证。”今年5月27日上午，在贝尔格莱德，塞尔维亚中国智慧文旅促进会秘书长、塞尔维亚泷鼎升文旅集团副总经理步小勇，看着手机里弹出的这条推送，下意识地打开了新浪微博……
“这条新闻，最高冲到了热搜第三！”步小勇欣慰地说。作为在塞尔维亚的华侨，近年来他看到了“一带一路”给塞尔维亚带来的变化，尤其这两年来，甚至习惯了“每个月都能看到塞尔维亚上中国热搜”。
这是中国政府首次与中东欧国家签署此类协议，协议生效后，将进一步便利双方公民在对方国家工作生活，提高两国经贸合作和人文交往水平，有力服务共建“一带一路”。
对他而言，这不过是“两个老铁间很小的一个福利”。事实上，两国越来越紧密的关系，早已改变了他的人生规划。
“我是2003年到塞尔维亚的，这之后的人生分两个阶段，2016年之前做生意，2017年之后做导游，契机就是2017年塞尔维亚对中国免签！”步小勇说，在2017年之前，塞尔维亚基本不存在对华旅游业一说。当时，他们的最大客源来自西欧。每到夏天，西欧客人就会来到这个欧洲“后花园”，享受阳光美食和音乐，以及独特的历史人文。而中国客人，大多以西欧、北欧作为旅游目的地。但开放免签后，中国一下子成为塞尔维亚旅游市场的生力军。到2019年，中国就一跃成为塞尔维亚的第一旅游客源国。
“正因如此，塞尔维亚从官方到民间，高度重视中国市场。西欧作为主要客源地，增量有限，但中国市场很有潜力，接下来很可能开通直航，甚至推动更全面的互惠合作！”视频采访中，步小勇指着身后一幢美丽的白色大楼说，这是贝尔格莱德中国文化中心大厦，前身是中国驻南联盟大使馆。
此刻，战火早已远去，城市洗净沧桑，鲜花遍地怒放。
在中国旅行社集团宁波有限公司欧美澳非负责人刘玲的眼中，步小勇还有个身份——宁波团的塞尔维亚地接。
“以前我们宁波团去塞尔维亚，基本上是塞尔维亚、波黑、黑山三国游13天。中国没有直飞，需要从俄罗斯转机，由于免签，这块业务增长很快。虽然因为疫情，暂时耽搁了下来。”刘玲说，现在塞尔维亚也正在全面接种中国疫苗，相信未来随着全球疫情的逐步好转，这块市场会得到迅速复苏。“下一步，我们会开放塞尔维亚一国游的项目，并且结合驾照互认，设计半自由行半自驾的项目，让大家更为深入地探访巴尔干半岛美景。”
“塞尔维亚，我去过很多次啊！”对于这一新闻，宁波市中东欧经贸合作与文化交流促进会会长董丽君的第一反应是，这将进一步促进双方经贸合作。“比如，在我们促进会中，有会员在塞尔维亚投资了汽车零配件厂，产品直接出口到欧洲整车厂。现在塞尔维亚人、旅居华人、侨领在宁波工作的非常多。过去几年，在他们的带动下，宁波商人到塞尔维亚的商务考察也逐渐常态化。”董丽君笑道，互认驾照以后，宁波人过去开个公司，直接用中国的驾驶证自驾考察，还可以带动一些旅游项目。
董丽君介绍，由于塞尔维亚是农业大国，对方希望有宁波企业前往投资开发农产品深加工产业，进而利用宁波港口资源优势，以及博览会、经贸合作示范区等国家级平台推动对华出口。
“现在，这项工作已经不断向前推进，比如塞尔维亚的特色水果酒、干果、不老莓汁、红酒，宁波的进口企业都有代理。”董丽君说。
去年，宁波与塞尔维亚的双边贸易额为5.32亿元，同比增长29.3%。今年1至2月，宁波对塞尔维亚实现进出口1.56亿元，同比增长185%，其中进口增长61.7%。
Trendy in China Every Month
“China and Serbia signed an agreement allowing mutual recognition and exchanges of the two country"s driving licenses. Under the new deal， people with driving licenses from one side can drive or apply for new licenses without taking tests in the other country.” Reading the news alert on his phone， Bu Xiaoyong， secretary general of Serbia-China Smart Culture and Tourism Association， automatically opened the Sina Weibo app， the Chinese microblogging service platform， on his phone.
“It is in the third place on Weibos trendy topics list！” Bu said. As a Chinese expatriate living in Serbia， he has personally witnessed the changes brought about by the Belt and Road Imitative. In the past few years， Bu has been used to “Serbia on Weibos trendy topics list every single month”.
This is the first time that the Chinese government has signed such an agreement with a country from Central and Eastern Europe. Once into effect， it will make it easier for citizens of both sides to work and live in another country， enhance economic and trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges， and provide strong support to the construction of the Belt and Road.
To Bu Xiaoyong， it was “just a small perk between two countries counting each other among their closest friends”. In fact， growing ties between them have already changed his life plans.
“I came to Serbia in 2003. After that， my life has been divided into two stages，” Bu recalled， “Doing business before 2016， and then working as a tour guide after 2017， when Serbia exempted visa to Chinese citizens.” Before 2017， there was no such thing as the China market in Serbian tourism， said Bu. At the time， the vast majority of tourists came from Western Europe， who came to this European “back garden” every summer to enjoy sunshine， food， music and its unique history and culture. Chinese tourists， on the contrary， flocked to Western Europe and Northern Europe.
Thanks to the visa-free policy， China suddenly became a new force in Serbias tourism market. By 2019， China became the number one source of tourists to Serbia.
“For this reason， from authorities to the general public， Serbia attaches great importance to the Chinese market， which has great potential in the future，” Bu said. “Next， direct flights are likely to be opened， and more comprehensive cooperation is expected！” In the video interview， Bu Xiaoyong pointed to a beautiful white building behind him：
the Chinese Cultural Center in Belgrade， which used to house the Chinese Embassy in former Yugoslavia.
“In the past， as no direct flights were available， our Ningbo clients usually went to Serbia， Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro for 13 days，” said Liu Ling， a Ningbo-based travel agent in regular contact with Bu Xiaoyong， “Now， there is a growing demand to travel to Serbia because of its visa-free policy， despite disruptions by the COVID-19， and we are planning to offer Serbia-only services to tourists， so that they can fully enjoy the Balkan beauty.”
In 2020， bilateral trade between Ningbo and Serbia reached 532 million yuan， up 29.3 percent year-on-year. In January and February 2021， Ningbos import and export to Serbia climbed to 156 million yuan， a 185% year-on-year increase， of which import increased by 61.7%.
