On 27 May, "Toyo Keizai", a Japanese online business magazine, ran an interview with Nenad Glišić, Serbian Ambassador in Tokyo, entitled "What do Japanese buses in Belgrade tell us?"

The interview mainly focused on cooperation between Serbia and Japan, the friendship between the two countries, Japanese investments in Serbia and tourism potentials, including a special recommendation to Japanese tourists to take a ride on the Sargan 8 train.

A short history of Serbia and review of relations with Japan have been presented to the readers, as well as an account of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's January visit. The text noted that Serbia was a country in which Japan was appreciated, and that the people of Belgrade were commuting in 93 buses donated to the Serbian capital by the Japanese Government.
