High-speed train Soko (BETAPHOTO/DRAGAN GOJIC)
The third section of railway on the Belgrade - Subotica route, from Novi Sad to Subotica, has been intensively tested over the past two weeks and will be inaugurated on Oct. 3 in the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and other officials.
The railway is 108.1 kilometers long and will allow trains to travel at speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour. Its construction cost more than EUR2 billion.
The construction of the third section of the railway between Belgrade and the Serbian-Hungarian border began in November 2021, and the contractor was a Chinese consortium comprising China Railway International and China Communications Construction Company, with the participation of more than 200 subcontractors from Serbia and the European Union.
The planned travel time for a passenger train between Novi Sad and Subotica is 41 minutes, whereas the trip between Belgrade and Subotica is to take roughly 79 minutes.
InterRegio trains will travel a little slower - 54 minutes between Novi Sad and Subotica and around 99 minutes between Belgrade and Subotica.
