As U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rallied Central European nations this week to stem Chinese influence by snubbing its advanced digital technology, Chinese surveillance cameras were recording faces and cars in the Serbian capital Belgrade.

On a visit to Slovenia on Thursday, Pompeo said that by rolling out its own 5G network, the ex-Yugoslav republic and EU and NATO member state had secured protection against China’s drive “to control people and information”. Serbia has signed two non-binding agreements with Huawei since 2017 - one on strategic partnership in the development of broadband internet, the other on a “smart cities” project that includes data gathering, storing and management.Trade Minister Rasim Ljajic said last year that state-owned Telekom Srbija was working with Huawei on a 150-million-euro project to establish high-speed broadband internet in the Balkan country of seven million people.

Huawei, however, is also involved in a project with Serbia’s Interior Ministry entailing the installation of over 1,100 surveillance cameras at an undisclosed cost for Belgrade’s Safe City surveillance system of traffic and crime control. “Huawei has arrived in Serbia to stay for a long time,” Nenad Popovic, Serbia’s minister for technological development, told reporters in May.
