14 bill.– 16 bill. €
Road Network
Serbia covers 48423 km, thereof about 18000 km main roads
(380 km highways & 165 km of semi-highways) and 30000 km
of local roads
• The current value of the existing road network is about 15
bill. €
• Network density is 43.9 km/100 km²
• On 40% of main roads and 60% of local roads bearing
capacity less than allowed
• Road Construction Sector employs about 23000 workers
• The developed OECD countries spend for maintenance
between 15000 & 45000 US$ per 1 km of road, Serbia 570 US$
(26 times less)
For urgent intervention 5 billion US$ are required, and extra
1.7 billion US$ to complete the existing highway construction

km double-track, of which 27% electrified
• The current value of the existing rail network is about 12 % of
total ownership of the Republic of Serbia
• On 42.8% of total railway length allowed speed is up to 60 km/h
•On 11.3% of total railway length allowed speed is up to 60-80 km/h
•On 45.9% of total railway length allowed speed is up to 80-100
km/h
•On total railway network length, there are 136 slow-run speeds

• Target for reconstruction per year is 5 % (150 km) of total
railway network, now Serbia reconstructs 40 km per year (past
three years), or 3.7 times less

Intermodal Transport Activities






AGTC Agreement is in ratification process in Serbia and
Montenegro
Parameters and standards from AGTC Agreement shall
be targets for construction and reconstruction of Serbian
railway infrastructure
Several hundreds of heavy freight road vehicles are in
transit through Serbia every day
Reroute of this transit to intermodal (hucke-pack and RoRo) transportation system should provide significant
environmental, economical, safety and other results to
reduce noise, water and soil pollution in transportation
areas
Construction Ro-La terminals on Corridor X
Widening of tunnels and bridges on Corridor X – UIC C
gauge
Future Activities and Projects (1)

Road, railway and intermodal transport network has
been designed and constructed as an integral part of
the European transport routes

Transport policy of our country is directed towards
development of intermodal transport systems which
have been already considerably used in Europe,
especially due to an overloaded road transport

During the previous year, significant investments as
loans from EBRD and EIB have been realized. Longterm investments originating from private companies
through concession arrangements with domestic and
foreign investors are also anticipated for the future
Future Activities and Projects (2)


Traffic infrastructure in Serbia is exclusively
owned by the state. However, through changes
of regulations the participation of the foreign
capital in construction, reconstruction and use of
certain sections of roads in Serbia is expected to
come into life.
According to the Law on Concessions,
concessions would be awarded for construction,
maintenance and use of roads, public railway
infrastructure, facilities for air traffic, equipment
and airport, facilities for waterway transport, in
one word-for overall infrastructure.
Conclusions



The development economy of our country
depends on expected capital investments and
support by IFI, permanent development and
modernisation of the traffic infrastructure.
Modern road, railway and intermodal transport
infrastructures with the essential infrastructure
and facilities represent the strategic advantage
and economic chance for our country.
By construction of contemporary traffic
infrastructure the Republic of Serbia provides
the way to the Transport and Trade Facilitation
of South- East Europe and Asia.
