Serbia plans development of 3 industrial zones along Morava Corridor

Serbia plans to build three industrial zones along the Morava Corridor, a 110 km motorway linking Preljina to Pojate in the central part of the country that is under construction by a consortium of US civil engineering group Bechtel and Turkey‘s Enka, president Aleksandar Vucic announced. He added that the motorway should contribute considerably to the development of local municipalities and the environment through which it passes, and represents a great opportunity for the domestic economy and industry.

“Residents of Cicevac, Varvarin, Krusevac, Trstenik, Vrnjacka Banja, Kraljevo and Cacak will directly benefit from the project,” Vucic noted during a meeting with representatives of the Bechtel – Enka consortium. Serbia signed a EUR 745 million contract for the construction of the Morava Corridor motorway with the consortium in December 2019. The motorway will feature 88 bridges, 29 level crossings and 11 tollbooths.
