Taj sporazum postignut je dan nakon što je srbijanski lider stigao u cjelosedmičnu službenu posjetu Kini, prvu svoju takvu posjetu od kraja labave državne unije Srbije i Crne Gore 2006.
The deal was reached a day after the Serbian leader arrived on a week-long official visit to China, his first since the end of the loose state union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006.
