Serbia Pavilion celebrated its National Pavilion Day this morning at Expo Center which was attended by Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic.

Serbian Minister of Commerce and Services Slobodan Milosavljevic, Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng, China's vice Commissioner general to Expo 2010 Zhou Xiaopei, and Shanghai Vice Mayor Tang Dengjie attended the ceremony.

Cvetkovic thanked all guests attending Serbia National Pavilion Day as well as Shanghai Municipal Government and Chinese Government for their help to Serbia's participation in Expo 2010.

Expo 2010's participants' number and visitors' number has or will exceed previous Expos, and he believed that countries will promote friendship and offer signals of cooperation at Expo 2010, he said.

He also hoped that Expo 2010 will be a medium of cooperation and friendship as well as he looked forward to offering positive effects.

On behalf of Chinese Government and Expo 2010 Organizing Committee, Han congratulated Serbia on its Pavilion Day.

He also welcomed the Serbian Prime Minister and said that in the Serbia Pavilion, visitors could use a "time machine" to enjoy Serbia's natural scenery as well as its modern urban areas and people's pursuit of a better life.

The pavilion's theme is "City Code" and the exterior design of the pavilion is based on traditional Serbian carpet weaving, a process that symbolizes the unification and harmonizing of ancient and modern. The pavilion adopts the element of "time" to connect not only many interesting exhibits but also past, present and future. There's a "time machine" which can give people the sensation of traveling across time.
