He said that negotiations with the partners are underway regarding construction of the high speed railway line Belgrade- Nis in the length of 240km, which allows train speed up to 200 km/h and enable arrival in Nis in 1h and 30 minutes.

“If we sign the contract soon, the project should be done by the end of 2023” – said Mr.Vucic.

He explained that he will negotiate with European and Russian partners about construction of the railway line Nis-Presevo, because it is very important to have the complete railway line to the state border to North Macedonia.
