It connects Serbia with Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and, further south, Greece.<br \/>\nWith the support of the European Union (EU), in this phase, modernisation, reconstruction and extension of the railway connecting Belgrade and Ni\u0161 with a total length of 230 km will be done. It is one of the national priorities for the future development of the railway transport system of the Republic of Serbia. The EU is also actively supporting the preparation and implementation of the modernisation of other sections of Corridor X and other important railway routes.<br \/>\nThe project will enable a faster and safer flow of passengers, transport, goods, and services through the Republic of Serbia and enhance its integration into the EU railway networks.<br \/>\nHere, you can find all the important information about the modernisation of Railway Corridor X in Serbia and the public procurement funded by EU funds related to the Belgrade\u2014Ni\u0161 Section.<\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n    \r\n\n\n\r\n    <div class=\"media-text-section reverse-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"container\">\r\n                            <div class=\"media-text-section--media-holder\">\r\n                    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kalemegdan, Pobednik, Beograd iz vazduha (Kalemegdan park &amp; The Victor, Belgrade aerial video) 4K\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NXsCAZ_ZD3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>                <\/div>\r\n                            <div class=\"media-text-section--text-holder\">\r\n                                        <h2>Railway Belgrade &#8211; Ni\u0161<\/h2>\n<p>The Belgrade-Ni\u0161 railway is a central part of the Serbian railway network and a key route for connecting Western Europe with the Western Balkans, Greece and Turkey.<br \/>\nThe Belgrade-Ni\u0161 railway represents one of the most important transport corridors and is essential for the development of a sustainable transport system in the country. Built as a single-track railway, it was put into traffic in 1884.<br \/>\nModernisation of railway Belgrade-Ni\u0161 will contribute to the progressive integration of the national network into the European Union transport market through improvements and developments of the railway infrastructure along the trans-European transport network on the basis of the relevant acquis and EU Technical Specification of Interoperability and to open new opportunities for integrated and sustainable economic and social growth of the South East European region.<br \/>\nThe project contributes to the EU policies, in particular the EU Green Agenda, and enhances Serbia&#8217;s connectivity, common regional market (CRM), and regional integration with the EU. It is in line with the priorities of the Transport Community, as reiterated in the Western Balkan Rail Summit in Belgrade on 13 September 2021: \u201cThe future is on Tracks\u201d and Serbia&#8217;s national infrastructure development priorities.<br \/>\nModernisation of the railway Belgrade-Ni\u0161 should contribute to the promotion of environmentally friendly means of transport, accelerating the shift to sustainable mobility and green economy transition and implementation of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans and the new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n
