He assessed that the concert, which was organised by the Ministry of Culture and the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, was the highlight of the celebration of the Chinese New Year, and reminded that as part of the Spring Festival, events took place all over Serbia – in Nis, Novi Sad, Smederevo and in the end in Belgrade.
