Serbia is getting richer with another 108 kilometers of high-speed rail, which will travel at 200 kilometers per hour. Testing of the newly built high-speed railway on the section Novi Sad – Vrbas Nova (station) began yesterday and will last until April 27, 2024.
See what the testing of a section of the high-speed railway looks like, recorded by a reporter of the Vojvodina portal live:
During the test, high-speed trains will move at a speed of 200 km/h on the section Novi Sad – Vrbas Nova, and the contact network above the high-speed railway on the said section will be under a voltage of 25 kV, so it is extremely dangerous to get close to it. During this period, it is forbidden to cross the railway during testing for the safety of people and property.
Chronology of works
After testing the complete railway from Novi Sad to Subotica, it is planned that during the summer the Dutch company will carry out the certification for the European Union standard, and in the first half of September the technical acceptance of the railway will be carried out.
In December, the first high-speed trains on the regular lines Belgrade-Novi Sad-Subotica will begin to run, and the journey from Prokop to Subotica will take one hour and 10 minutes.
If Hungarian Railways continues with accelerated investment in their infrastructure, it can be expected that as early as 2027, we could have a high-speed railway from Belgrade to Budapest in less than four hours.
The length of the high-speed line from Novi Sad to Subotica is 108 kilometers. It is planned to build 12 railway stations, 13 bridges, 31 culverts, 3 uneven crossings, 54 level crossings, 11 underpasses, 27 overpasses, 2 pedestrian and bicycle paths, and the most significant architectural objects are station buildings in Novi Sad and Subotica. . The value of the works on this section is 1.16 billion dollars.
As of September 15, regular rehearsals of the trip begin, which should last three months, depending on the number of passes.

The high-speed railway from Belgrade to Budapest is the most important project in the “Belt and Road” initiative.
The contractor is a Chinese consortium, and the railway will be electrified and equipped with modern signaling and safety devices. There will be no road crossings on the entire section of the high-speed railway Belgrade – Novi Sad – Subotica – Kelebija.
Railways in Vojvodina
Apart from the work on the high-speed railway from Novi Sad to Subotica, which is the most significant railway project in Vojvodina, work is also underway in the province on other railway corridors, where a total of 400 kilometers of railway will be reconstructed.
An important road is the Banat railway, which goes towards Zrenjanin, Kikinda and Subotica. The railway between Vrbas and Sombor is currently in a bad condition and will be completely reconstructed with new signaling, while work is currently underway on the reconstruction of the Belgrade-Vrsac-Romanian border railway.
