非常高兴和满意的是，我们借此机会向紫金矿业、塞尔维亚紫金铜业和塞尔维亚紫金矿业颁发塞尔维亚共和国感谢证书的电子版，感谢你们在 COVID - 19 大流行期间对塞尔维亚人民和公民的无私贡献和捐赠。
我们非常重视并非常感谢你们在抗击 COVID - 19 病毒的最关键时刻支持我们的决定。你们的捐款不仅为我们保护塞尔维亚共和国人民公共卫生的运动作出了贡献，而且为加强我们两国和两国社会之间钢铁般的友谊作出了巨大贡献。
据了解，2020年，新冠肺炎疫情在全球爆发并持续，欧洲地区疫情严重并反复肆虐。作为在塞尔维亚投资的跨国矿业公司，紫金矿业秉承“开发矿业、造福社会”理念，积极履行社会责任，通过驻塞企业向塞国中央政府、伏伊伏丁那省、波尔市、马伊丹佩克市及周边社区等捐赠检测设备、防疫物资。其中，紫金矿业及其他中方伙伴捐建的塞尔维亚“火眼”医学实验室，提高了塞尔维亚的整体检测能力，受到塞国媒体广泛报道和好评。
