【旁白段落】
5月25日下午，宁波老外滩中东欧之窗。2024中国（宁波）— 中东欧国家交流周中东欧国家驻华大使沙龙活动的波黑专场如约而至。在这里我和新任波黑驻华大使面对面交流，感受到了波黑“官方代言人”对自己国家的诚挚推荐，更在这场颇具意义的对话中体会到中国与中东欧国家的双向奔赴。
On the afternoon of May 25th, at the Old Bund CEEC Portal in Ningbo, the Ambassador Salon for Bosnia and Herzegovina of the 2024 China (Ningbo) - CEEC Exchange Week was held as scheduled. Here I had a face-to-face communication with the new ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to China, experiencing the sincere endorsement of this country by its "official spokesperson," and, furthermore, gaining insight into the mutually beneficial relationship between China and CEE Countries from this meaningful dialogue.

采访者 ：作为波黑驻华大使，这是您第一次访问宁波吗？
Ambassador: Yeah, actually it is. This is my first time to visit Ningbo. I heard a lot about Ningbo because Ningbois a hub for cooperation between China and central and eastern European countries. And I have to say that I'm deeply impressed with everything what I saw here, and even everything, what I saw here exceeded my expectations. I heard a lot of positive things about Ningbo before. And It's really an amazing city with such a rich cultural and historical heritage.
大使： 是的，确实是。这是我第一次访问宁波。我听说过很多关于宁波的事情，因为宁波是中国与中东欧国家合作的枢纽。我必须要说，我在这里看到的一切都给我留下了深刻的印象，甚至我在这里看到的一切都超出了我的预期。我以前听过很多对宁波积极正面的评价。宁波真的是一座神奇的城市，有丰富的历史文化遗产。

It was really, really perfect performance by Ningbosymphony orchestra. They were playing also songs from different countries, from different central and eastern European countries.

Interviewer: And as we know this year, and we've officially entered the 11th year of the Belt and Road Initiative. what is the view of your country in terms of One Belt and One Road?
采访者：我们知道今年已经正式进入 "一带一路 "倡议的第11个年头。贵国对 "一带一路 "是如何评价的？
Ambassador: I would say that ancient silk road didn't only promote people to people connectivity in terms of economic cooperation, but also social, culture exchange, peace and friendship.
大使： 我想说的是，古代丝绸之路不仅在经济合作方面促进了人与人之间的互联互通，而且还促进了社会文化交流、和平与友谊。
Ambassador：So that is what's also Initiative of One Belt and Road is trying to do. It is a globally important initiative, which, in effect, can bring us to a new era of cooperation, openness, and inclusiveness.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is from the beginning, the part of the cooperation mechanism between China and the central and eastern European countries。 I would like to mention that Bosnia and Herzegovina was the first user of loan by a Chinese investment bank in that cooperation mechanism, and that loan was used for a very huge project in my country. It was thermal power plant scenario, which brought a lot economic benefits to my country.
it’s really good example of cooperation with China.
大使：这也正是 "一带一路 "倡议所要做的。它是一项具有全球意义的倡议，实际上可以将我们带入一个合作、开放和包容的新时代。
波黑从一开始就是中国与中东欧国家合作机制的一部分。我想提的是，波黑是中国投资银行在该合作机制中提供贷款的第一个用户，这笔贷款被用于我国一个非常巨大的项目。一个火力发电厂项目，为我国带来很多的经济效益。
这就是一个与中国合作的好例子。
Interviewer: Yes, great. Mr. Ambassador, what are your expectations towards the future relationships between our two countries? Or maybe in which area you think we could deepen this kind of cooperation?
采访者： 非常好的例子，大使先生，您对两国未来关系有何期待？您认为我们可以在哪些领域深化这种合作？
Ambassador: So China is developing too fast. And in the last 30 years, China conducted political and economic reforms that are, in fact, subject of admiration of the whole world. And these reforms had aimed to alleviate poverty, to reduce poverty. It could be used for many, especially developing countries, is a very good pattern for development. We should use somehow our very good and excellent, I would say a relationship with China and try to benefit from this relationship, especially in the areas of digitalization, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, green energy
大使：中国发展得太快了。在过去的 30 年里，中国进行了政治和经济改革，这些改革实际上让全世界钦佩。这些改革的目的是脱贫，减少贫困。对于许多国家，尤其是发展中国家来说，这是一个非常好的发展模式。我们应该用某种方式更好得从与中国良好的关系中获益，特别是在数字化、电子商务、人工智能、绿色能源等领域。
Interviewer: Okay, well, I noticed that you brought some things there.
采访者： 好吧，我注意到你带了一些东西。
Ambassador:I would like to show a mascot of Bosnia and Herzegovina to China.
大使： 我想向中国展示波黑的吉祥物。
Interviewer: Very cute.
采访者： 非常可爱。
Ambassador: So our little friend is called Bogovi. The Bogovi is composed of several important elements of Bosnia and Herzegovina representing our country. The color of our flag is yellow, blue, and white. So it is.
大使： 我们的小朋友叫 Bogovi（博戈维）。博戈维由波黑的几个重要元素组成，代表着我们的国家。吉祥物的颜色是国旗的颜色，黄色、蓝色和白色。
采访者： 国旗的颜色，是的。
Ambassador: So this here is not crown on Bogovi’ head. So it is UNESCO world heritage bridge. It visions the bridge over the river of Neretva. So then these are national slippers which are also nominated for UNESCO. This is already UNESCO world heritage site, world heritage embroidery from Bosnia and Herzegovina. And at the end, there is Bosnia and Herzegovina carpet.
We have many Chinese tourists, but still we hope that we will have more.
大使： 博戈维头上的不是皇冠。而是列入联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产的大桥。这是横跨内雷特瓦河的一座古桥。这些是我们国家的拖鞋，也被联合国教科文组织提名。这已经是列入联合国教科文组织名录的世界遗产，是来自波黑的刺绣。最后是波黑地毯。
我们已经有很多中国游客，但我们希望能有更多中国旅客能来。
