Glisic-Samac, a school teacher, said she was impressed by how the power plant is helping the local community, especially its school.

She said that a kindergarten and a conference room are soon to be added to the current school building. Students are also looking forward to a field trip sponsored by the power plant, she added.

"I think young people here have a really good opportunity for a good life," Glisic-Samac said.

Signature projects

The Stanari TPP is considered a signature project within the framework of the cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European Countries as well as the Belt and Road Initiative.

Milorad Dodik, the Serb member of the tripartite presidency of BiH, said in an interview with Xinhua in September that he believed cooperation with China is in the interests of Balkan countries.

Chinese enterprises have provided good opportunities for the development of infrastructure, energy and communication in Balkan countries, Dodik said.

Not far from Stanari, in the city of Doboj, a hospital will be built by China Sinopharm International Corporation and equipped with modern facilities.

In the neighboring Serbia, the steel plant in Smederevo, invested in by China's HBIS group, is "on the track to become the most competitive steel mill in Europe," according to the Central European Financial Observer, a Poland-based economic news platform.

In Montenegro, the Mozura Wind Park with its 23 smart turbines, jointly built by China and Malta, was inaugurated last week.

Apart from infrastructure projects, there are also "unimaginable opportunities for (the) development of cooperation in the field of tourism," according to Faruk Boric, a political commentator from BiH, who urged his compatriots to drop the mentality of geopolitical power struggles to embrace mutual cooperation.

Hu Yang said that respecting local practices, complying with local laws and regulations, and recruiting local talents jointly led to his company's successful running of the Stanari TPP project.
