Diplomatska misija / Diplomatic Mission - VLADIMIR ČUŠEV
Ambasador Belorusije u Srbiji / Ambassador of Belarus in Serbia
Njegova Ekselencija g-din Vladimir Čušev, ambasador Belorusije u Srbiji, sa visokim uvažavanjem istorije, tradicije i kulture, ističe da je ekonomska saradnja dve zemlje stub bilateralnih odnosa. Srbija i Belorusija uskoro obeležavaju 20 godina diplomatskih odnosa, ali je istorijska veza između dve zemlje daleko starija, a naši pravoslavni narodi, osim zvanične saradnje, razumeju se i u posebnoj duhovnoj sferi.
DIPLOMATSKA KARIJERA
Skoro dve decenije sam u diplomatiji. Najpre sam prošao nekoliko pozicija u Ugovorno-pravnoj službi ministarstva spoljnih poslova Belorusije; u Jugoslaviji sam četiri godine bio konzul i savetnik; u Varšavu sam otišao na mesto zamenika ambasadora Belorusije u Poljskoj; Srbija je prva zemlja u kojoj sam ambasador. Uvek sam pratio dešavanja u ovom delu Evrope. Bombardovanje koje se ovde desilo 1999. godine, proživljavao sam u Beogradu, zajedno sa Srbima. Zbog tog događaja preispitavao sam svoj pogled na svet ali i na međunarodno pravo.
ŽIVOT U SRBIJI
Svi mi u ambasadi Belorusije uživamo u Srbiji i poštujemo Vašu tradiciju i kulturu, pa bih izdvojio slave koje samo Vi imate. Ono što nikako ne opravdavam i ne razumem je veliki broj pušača u Srbiji. To je nešto što šteti i onima koji puše, a smeta i onima koji su sa njima u društvu.
MISIJA I CILJEVI
Za vreme mog mandata, uvedena je vazdušna linija Beograd - Minsk preko Budimpešte, što dokazuje da težimo čvršćoj saradnji - i poslovno, i kulturno i turistički. Moj cilj je da u narednim godinama što više Belorusa upozna Srbiju i obrnuto. Turizam nije na zavidnom nivou – kriza je i to je razumljivo. Ono što bi srpskim turistima bilo atraktivno je verski turizam u Belorusiji. Već postoji ta vrsta duhovnog putovanja u naše verske centre. Sa druge strane, na katedri za slavistiku Filološkog fakulteta u Beogradu predaju naša dva profesora i to doprinosi realizaciji moje ideje o širenju kulturološkog razumevanja. Osam Univerziteta iz Beloruje i Srbije potpisali su sporazum o saradnji: Beograd i Minsk, Novi Sad i moj rodni grad Gomelj, Kragujevac i Mogiljov, Niš i Vitebsk. Osim univerziteta, pobratimljeno je nekoliko naših gradova. To je važno za bilateralne odnose – da osim na republičkom nivou, sarađujemo i lokalno. Treba pomenuti i jednu zanimljivost - prvi rektor beloruskog Nacionalnog Univerziteta bio je Srbin iz Mostara, Vladimir Pičeta. Jedan od važnih stubova naših odnosa su i počasni konzuli. U Beogradu je to Dragomir Karić, u Novom Sadu Dragoljub Švonja i u Kragujevcu Zoran Vulović. Ova gospoda su istaknuti privrednici i naši dugogodišnji partneri i prijatelji.
OSNOVNI STUBOVI MEĐUNARODNIH ODNOSA
Najvažniji stub je, svakako, ekonomija – zapravo, privredna saradnja dve zemlje. Uz to idu i kulturna razmena, saradnja u oblasti nauke i tehnologije i u drugim sferama. Bilateralna diplomatija je kao platno na kojem dve države slikaju svoje detalje, da bi se na kraju dobio divan mozaik.

His Excellency, Mr. Vladimir Chushev, Ambassador of Belarus to Serbia, emphasizes the economic collaboration between the two countries and his deep respect for the history, tradition and culture of our country. Serbia and Belarus will celebrate soon 20 years of diplomatic relations, but the cultural relations between the two countries is much older, because, besides official collaboration, our two Orthodox nations have had great mutual understanding at a special spiritual level.
DIPLOMATIC CAREER
I have worked as a diplomat for twenty years, first at the Sector of Treaties and Legal Affairs of the Byelorussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus. After that, I spent four years as Consul and Adviser in Yugoslavia. In Warsaw, I was Deputy Ambassador of Byelorussia to Poland. Serbia is the first country, where I have served as Ambassador. I have always followed the developments in this part of Europe, as well as the bombings of 1999, which I experienced here, together with the Serbian people. Those events made me question my vision of the world, but also of international right.
LIFE IN SERBIA
All the people that work at the Embassy of Belarus enjoy living in Serbia and respect its traditions and culture. I would like to point out the “Slavas”, which exist only in Serbia. The only thing that I can neither understand nor justify is the large number of smokers in Serbia. That is something that harms not only the smoker, but also the people around him.
MISSION AND GOALS
During my term in off ice there was established a new air transport relationship Belgrade - Minsk through Budapest, which proves that our wish is to strengthen collaboration at all levels - culture, business and tourism. My goal is that in the coming years as many Byelorussians as possible will travel to Serbia and vice versa. Tourism is not at an enviable level, but there is crisis and it is understandable. Serbian tourists will enjoy religious tourism in Belarus. In fact, Serbs already visit our religious centers. Our language is taught by two professors at the Cathedra of Slavistics of the Faculty of Philology of the University of Belgrade and that contributes to my idea on the widening of cultural understanding. Eight universities of Belarus and Serbia have signed cooperation agreements: Belgrade and Minsk, Novi Sad and my native city Gomelj, Kragujevac and Mogiljov, Niš and Vitebsk. Besides universities, some of our cities are twinned as well. It is important for bilateral relations that we collaborate not only at national level, but also at local level. I should mention an interesting detail; the first PhD of our Byelorussian National University was Vladimir Pičeta, a Serb from Mostar. One of the pillars of our relations are the Honorary Consuls, Dragomir Karić in Belgrade, Dragoljub Švonja in Novi Sad and Zoran Vulović in Kragujevac. These gentlemen are prominent businessmen, as well as our old partners and friends.
MAIN PILLARS OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
The most important aspect is economy, of course, namely the economic collaboration between the two countries. Economy leads to cultural exchanges, as well as to collaboration in the field of science, technology etc. Bilateral diplomacy is like a canvas, on which the two countries paint their details, producing a splendid mosaic in the end.
