Zijin News  Recently, Zijin Mining Group, together with BGI Group,  Mammoth Foundation and Tencent, donated equipment for building two “Fire Eye” national laboratories to molecular detection of infectious agents in Serbia. Those two new laboratories will be located in Belgrade and Nis, and the one that located in Nis was fully financed by Zijin.

On April 15, Serbia sent a special plane to China to transport laboratory equipment to Belgrade. Serbia will become the first European country to land Chinese "Fire Eye" laboratories. After the establishment of the laboratory, the total testing capacity will reach 3,000 samples per day, which will significantly improve the new corona virus testing capacity in Serbia and play an important role in fighting against this epidemic in this country.
