Ambassador Li noted that the presidents of Serbia and China, Aleksandar Vucic and Xi Jinping, will have a meeting in China during a gathering known as the Summer Davos.

If Serbia’s path towards the EU hits a blockage and the country shifts toward Russia and China, former president Tomislav Nikolic could conceivably stage a political resurrection.
One year after he left the presidential office, Serbia’s former head of state, Tomislav Nikolic, is far from the public horizon.
Serbia is targeted by intelligence services of some 60 countries, which plan subversive acts, fake news, and disturbance of the public.
This is according to professor Milan Mijalkovski, former dean at the Faculty of Security, who told the daily Politika that "everything that is happening in Serbia can also be observed through some internal reason, but should be brought into context of foreign factors' interests."
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic says that Serbia is working on continuation of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina in the same format, under the auspices of the EU, but this problem cannot be solved without great powers, reports Belgrade based daily Blic.
Chairman of the Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun told RTS that if an agreement is reached with Pristina, which will regulate the final status of Kosovo, it will be necessary for Serbia's citizens to declare on it. He points out that EULEX ending its mission ''in the southern Serbian province on June 14, will further destabilize the Serb people''.
Russia and China have once again opposed initiatives coming from some UN Security Council members to change the format of the UN mission in Kosovo, UNMIK.
They hold the same position when it comes to attempts to change the format of the Council's sessions dedicated to Kosovo. In this way, they supported Serbia's stance on the issue.
Russian and Chinese ambassadors spoke in favor of continuing the UNMIK mission in Kosovo, during Tuesday's UN Security Council session dedicated to its work.
At the same time, representatives of France, Great Britain and the United States called for it be abolished.
Russia's Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said Moscow disagrees with the "very optimistic assessment" presented during the meeting by the Kosovo ambassador to the United States.
Lawyer Srdjan Aleksic, one of the initiators of a lawsuit against NATO, would travel to Moscow on 19 October to attend the Assembly of the Russian International Lawyers Association, Sputnik reports today.
Aleksic said he has already received support from the Russian and Chinese colleagues to prepare a lawsuit against NATO, but also from the lawyers from some EU countries so the international team is slowly being prepared.
Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic is in Beijing where he met with Chinese officials yesterday, Beta news agency reported.
Stefanovic and Chinese officials "discussed ways on how to enhance relations and cooperation in the field of security."
Stefanovic met with Meng Jianzhu, Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun, the agency quoted a statement issued by the Interior Ministry.
Belgrade based daily Danas writes today, based on unofficial diplomatic sources, that the United States and Germany are considering who will be their envoys in the next phase of the Brussels dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, and that it is expected that the decision on their names would be made and disclosed in a month time.
