Cvetković announces investment in rail infrastructure

The government will continue to support the development and modernization of Serbia's railway infrastructure, says Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic. “Whenever there's talk of building infrastructure, it's frequently linked to road infrastructure, but this is an opportunity for the government to get behind railway infrastructure,” said Cvetkovic during a visit to the Batajnica-Golubinci section of the Corridor 10 railway. Cvetkovic announces investment in rail infrastructure He stressed that the government had launched a big railway reform project, that earlier investments were being continued and that new projects were under way. Cvetkovic said that the investments were mainly in the field of infrastructure in a narrow sense, but also for the procurement of trains, adding that the current project was worth over EUR 500mn. The EUR 30mn-project on the modernization of the Batajnica-Golubinci line, which began last October, is being funded by a loan from the European Investment Bank. Repairs and building are under way on altogether 31 km of the line in that section, including the construction of a new 7.4 km-section between Stara Pazova and Golubinci. Currently, traffic in the section in question can only move in one direction. Mirko Cvetkovic (Tanjug)
