BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — A Chinese adaptation of "The Marriage of Figaro," one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most famous operas, will be performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) of China from July 15 to 20.

The opening ceremony took place at the entrance to the Mugnino Brdo tunnel in the municipality of Lucani in southwestern Serbia. It was attended by Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Li Ming, senior Serbian government officials, representatives of Chinese and Serbian infrastructure companies, and hundreds of local residents.

"This is one of the most important infrastructure projects in our country. Together with our Chinese friends, using their technology and our determination, we overcame all the difficulties," A. Vucic said at the event, noting the contribution of China Communications Construction Group /CCCC/.

The opened 19.56-kilometer section includes two of the longest automobile tunnels in Serbia – Laz /2858 m/ and Muninino Brdo /2861 m/. According to A. Vucic, the project reflects the transformation of Serbia into a strong and modern state with safe and high-quality highways.

Li Ming called the E-763 highway the most important transport artery connecting Belgrade with the Montenegrin port of Bar, as well as with the western and northern regions of Serbia.

The successful completion of the project reflects the experience and dedication of all participants and is evidence of the “iron friendship” between China and Serbia, he added.

Passenger traffic on the new section of the highway will open at noon on Sunday. –0–
