Road development has been prioritised as a key aim by the current administration in Serbia. At present, the country is working on a series of road projects worth a total of around €3 billion.

Meanwhile, plans are also being drawn up for 800km of high speed roads in the country. Building these routes will cost an estimated €4-4.5 billion.

The funding sources for the future road programme have yet to be revealed.

In addition, progress is being made with the construction of the new ring road around capital Belgrade.
