The Serbian government intends to start talks with China on the overhaul of railway lines south of Belgrade as part of China’s plans to modernise a connection to Greece’s Piraeus port, Serbia’s infrastructure minister Zorana Mihajlovic said.
Serbia plans to launch negotiations with China on the modernisation of a railway linking the Hungarian capital Budapest to Piraeus via Belgrade at a meeting between representatives of China and 16 central and eastern European countries in Budapest in November.
The government plans to start in November the overhaul of the railway section from Belgrade to the border with Hungary in the north, but for Serbia it is important to have information about China’s plans for the entire track, including railways south of Belgrade, the minister added.
The Serbian government is already in talks with China on the signing of a contract for the overhaul of the Novi Sad-Subotica railway line.
