Demand grows for Serbian language graduates

Chinese students majoring in the Serbian language are benefiting from the country's increasing cooperation with the Republic of Serbia, according to the director of the only Chinese university that has a Serbian language program.

"In recent years, an increasing number of our graduates in Serbian have been recruited by Chinese companies who are either looking to start or continuing business in Serbia," said Yao Jie, director of the Serbian language research section at Beijing Foreign Studies University.

In the past, the majority of the graduates became government employees with the Commerce and Foreign Affairs ministries.
