Xinhua News Agency reported that China and Serbia launched a three-week joint police patrol program on September 23 in central Belgrade. Eight police officers sent by China’s Ministry of Public Security will join Serbian officers in mixed teams to conduct patrols in several Serbian cities, including Belgrade and Novi Sad.
At the launch ceremony, Zhang Zhe, chargé d’affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Serbia, said that China-Serbia relations have developed rapidly in recent years and that the two countries’ public security and interior ministries have deepened practical cooperation. He said the joint patrols would help enhance the sense of security among Chinese tourists and overseas Chinese in Serbia during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday period and further strengthen law-enforcement and security cooperation between the two countries.
Following the ceremony, Chinese and Serbian officers began joint patrols along Knez Mihailova Street in central Belgrade. The patrols were conducted at the invitation of Serbia’s Ministry of Interior and mark the third time Chinese police officers have traveled to Serbia for joint patrols. The joint patrol officers will assist Chinese tourists and overseas Chinese in communicating with local police and coordinating responses to their security concerns.
