Serbia has around €5.5 billion worth of transport infrastructure projects either in progress or in preparation, according to the government. Of the €5.5 billion of contracts, around €3 billion is for roads under construction.

Minister of infrastructure, Zorana Mihajlovic, said that around 90km or motorway will be completed this year and another 200km will be rehabilitated. Among these projects is construction of the Nis-Merdare motorway. In the past two years around 170km of motorways were built.

Among the projects is a highway from the Serbian capital Belgrade to Prishtina, to the south and capital of Kosovo. The Serbian government said in March that financing for the project had yet to be established but talks were ongoing with European partners. The highway from Albania’s capital Tirana to its eastern border with Kosovo - constructed by a 4138 Bechtel 5252 Enka joint venture - would be part of a greater Belgrade-Prishtina-Tirana route.
