2018年，塞尔维亚政局较为稳定，前进党在首都贝尔格莱德市长选举中获胜，进一步巩固了其执政党的领导地位。随着欧盟西巴尔干扩大战略的出台，塞尔维亚入盟进程迎来了曙光，有望在2025年实现入盟。然而，这一年科索沃局势多有变化，几度紧张的塞科关系以及科索沃“建军”等事件，对巴尔干地缘政治造成较大影响。值得注意的是，“一带一路”倡议和“16+1合作”框架下的中塞合作继续发展，两国高层往来频繁，经济合作成果丰硕，人文交流局面繁荣。
In 2018，the political situation in Serbia was relatively stable. The Serbian Progressive Party won Belgrade’s mayor election，which further strengthened its leadership position. With the introduction of the Enlargement Strategy for the Western Balkans，Serbia’s accession process has ushered in a new era and is expected to achieve accession by 2025. However，in this year，the situation in Kosovo has changed. Tension in Serbian-Kosovo relationship and Kosovo’s “army-building” had a significant impact on the Balkan geopolitics. On the other hand，cooperation between Serbia and China under the “One Belt One Road” Initiative and the “16+1” cooperation framework continue to develop positively，with frequent high-level exchanges between the two countries，fruitful economic cooperation and cultural exchanges.
