Belgrade-Budapest high-speed railway symbol of friendship between Serbia, China

Belgrade, 10 June 2020

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Zorana Mihajlovic talked today with General Manager of the Chinese company "China Railway International Company" (CRIC) Xu Xiaoyun about the implementation of the high-speed railway modernization project from Belgrade to Budapest.

Mihajlovic pointed out that the construction of this railway is a symbol of friendship and good relations between the two countries and our peoples.

She emphasised that this is a project of exceptional importance for both Serbia and China, as evidenced by the support provided by the presidents of the two countries, Aleksandar Vucic and Xi Jinping.

The relations between our two countries are the best possible ever and should remain so, and the high-speed railway is one of the most important joint projects, the Deputy Prime Minister pointed out.

According to her, this is not only the largest project in Southeast Europe, which is also part of the railway Corridor 10, but it is also part of the global initiative "Belt and Road", which we are especially proud of.

The Deputy Prime Minister also expressed gratitude to the Embassy of China in Serbia for the support in the realisation of this project, and told the contractor that she expects all works to be performed within the agreed deadline, quality and established dynamics.

A consortium of Chinese companies CCCC and CRIC is performing works on the section Belgrade Center-Stara Pazova, in the length of 34.5 kilometers, and the value of the works is worth $350.1 million.
