Corridor X: Belgrade – Niš Railway Line, Paraćin – Međurovo Section

Project Description

This investment project will construct a 48.3 km long double-track section, on the line from Belgrade to Niš. It will also upgrade electrification, signalling and telecommunication systems. These investments will enable a high-speed connection of up to 200 km/h between the two cities, with a faster flow of passengers and freight. 

This is the second endorsement made by the EU for the pan-European Corridor X in Serbia under the EIP, to ensure rapid integration with the EU railway network.

The EU has provided technical assistance for project preparation and co-funds the investments under Flagship 1 - Connecting East to West - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
