Belgrade witnessed a significant advancement in transportation on Friday as Serbia unveiled its latest high-speed train, built by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC). The ceremony, attended by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, took place at the Zemun train station.
President Vucic announced that Serbia has ordered five of these state-of-the-art trains to operate along the soon-to-be-completed Serbian section of the Belgrade-Budapest railway. This development is set to revolutionize regional travel, reducing the 180-kilometer journey from Belgrade to Subotica near the Serbia-Hungary border to just one hour and ten minutes.
\"I especially want to thank the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which is probably the best company that has ever done something in Serbia. That company is a miracle and it's amazing how these people work,\" Vucic remarked during the ceremony.
These high-speed trains are expected to enhance connectivity between Serbia and its neighboring countries, fostering economic growth and tourism. The collaboration between Serbia and Chinese firms underscores the growing ties and shared interests in developing modern infrastructure across Europe.
