Corridor 10 – Better Links Between the Region and Europe Corridor 10 – Better Links Between the Region and Europe Dr Dušan Mladenović Association of Transport and Telecommunications Tradition Valleys of the Rivers Danube, Sava and Morava, have been some of the most important transportation corridors in the South East Europe for more than 2,000 years. Pan-European Corridors in the Balkans Corridor 10 With Its Branches крацима It runs from Austria to Greece. It includes both the railway corridor, 2,528 km long, and the road corridor, 2,300 km long. Salzburg (A) – Ljubljana (SLO) – Zagreb (HR) – Belgrade (SRB) – Niš (SRB) – Skopje (MK) – Veles (MK) – Thessaloniki (GR). * Branch A: Graz (A) - Maribor (SLO) – Zagreb (HR) * Branch B: Budapest(SRB) – Novi Sad (SRB) - Belgrade (SRB) * Branch C: Nis (SRB) – Dimitrovgrad (SRB) – Sofia (BG) - Istanbul (TR) – via corridor 4 * Branch D: Veles (MK) – Prilep (MK) - Bitola (MK) - Florina (GR) - Igoumenitsa (GR) Priority Projects of the EU Road Network 2005 New Reality 1. EU has defined its priority axes that run parallel with Corridor 10 in Serbia. The neighbouring countries construct speedily the infrastructure network in the close vicinity. 2. Road transit transport on Corridor 10 has stagnated, and an increasing trend is recorded only on the directions east-west and northeast-southwest. Network Traffic Load and Regional Traffic Flows The largest traffic load is on the passage through Belgrade, which is why construction of Belgrade Bypass is one of the priorities. Regional traffic flows through Serbia include both transit flows and Serbia’s bilateral exchange; they are most expressed on the east-west direction.

Final Works NORTH: Horgos – Novi Sad All sections (1-108) completed in 2010 and 2011. BELGRADE : A segment of the Belgrade Bypass, from the “Orlovaca” node zone, via Ostruznica to the “Dobanovci” loop zone, has been completed. Rehabilitation of the highway through Belgrade was completed , including the “Gazela” Bridge across the Sava River. Branch 10c: The bridge across the Danube near Beska was completed. The “Dobanovci” loop and the section through Batajnica were finished, thus making a link of the main axis of Corridor 10 and the Branch 10c towards Hungary in full highway profile. Ongoing Works on Corridor 10 SOUTH: Grabovnica – Levosoje •Srpska kuca– Donji Neradovac (Contractor : Aktor S.A., for performance of works on LOT 2: Start of works: January 2011.

Total lenght 423 km through Serbia 258 km through Montenegro 165 km Once we finish the Corridors 10 and 11, most of major Serbian cities will be connected by highways. Priorities on Railway Corridor 10, According to SEETO Increased Capacities and Time Saving on the Borders In addition to increased capacities of border crossings, i.e. traffic lanes and equipping, so called “soft” solutions are very important. They can achieve substantial savings with small investments, primarily in waiting times of freight vehicles. Along with electronic pre-notification of customs documents, customs procedures can be accelerated in the area of transport documents. An example is electronic CMR which is already implemented in some European countries. One of the implemented solutions by which Serbia is a leader in Europe is TIR-EPD, which is electronic pre-notification of transiting vehicles under cover TIR Carnet. In the Customs Union Russia, Belorussia and Kazakhstan, electronic pre-notification of vehicles is obligatory. Acceleration of Vehicle Flow – TIR EPD Green Lanes Dedicating separate lanes for vehicles with TIR-EPD: • Waiting times reduced a lot • High financial savings to customs authorities • Higher efficiency in risk assessment • Ensures and facilitates international trade Acceleration of Vehicle Flow – TIR EPD Green Lanes One of the possible concepts of TIR-EPD and TOR Green Lanes. Project “Green Lanes” already implemented in some countries Concept of TIR “Green Lanes” has to be completed on both sides of the border crossing. Otherwise it would make no sense.

  • ROADS of SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When You Want to Develop an Area, Equip It with Good Roads”, Prof
    INTRODUCTION ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PE “ROADS OF SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When you want to develop an area, equip it with good roads”, prof. dr Milan Vujanić says and I entirely agree with this. Interdependence of industry and roads is quite evident because roads, in addition to their main function concerning the transport of people and goods, also generate growth and development of all places through which the road network passes as well as all other which are indirectly connected with motorways and other important routes in the Republic of Serbia. Thus it is the main dedication of the PE “Roads of Serbia” to achieve what is expected from us – to successfully finish all investments and provide the same level of quality of all the roads in Serbia with constant increase of the level of traffic safety, with cordial assistance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. This is an imperative of our work, not only because of the expectations in front of us regarding the accession to the European Union, but also because good roads are one of the pillars of every serious and modern country. Road towards the achievement of big results starts with the devotion of individuals, each one of us. Owing to an exceptional devotion of the employees in the PE “Roads of Serbia”, achievement of the adopted plans is possible, regardless of the difficulties and not always favourable work conditions which the time sets upon us. Daily perseverance, devotion and openness of our employees to new knowledge and changes is obvious.

  • China's Economic Footprint in the Western Balkans
    Jacob Mardell ASIA POLICY BRIEF China's Economic Footprint in the Western Balkans Geopolitics has returned to vogue, and the EU does not enjoy a monopoly on inuence in the Western Balkans. China is the latest player on the scene, and although its economic footprint is still relatively small, Beijing’s growing presence is a new reality that Brussels needs to contend with. China’s “no-strings attached” nancing of infrastructure potentially undermines the EU’s reform-orientated approach. Relevance Bertelsmann Stiftung Focus Bertelsmann Stiftung Forecast Bertelsmann Stiftung Information Bertelsmann Stiftung Options Bertelsmann Stiftung About the author Jacob Mardell is a freelance researcher and journalist who has recently travelled Eurasia exploring China’s Belt and Road Initiative. He is writing a series of articles, "On the New Silk Road,". Since March, he has traveled overland from the UK to Beijing. Over the next ve months he will be travelling in Southeast Asia, returning to Europe over sea, via Djibouti and Ethiopia. Beijing’s approach China’s economic presence in the Western Balkans Six (WB6) countries of Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia is framed in terms of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a foreign policy slogan and development concept announced by Xi Jinping in 2013. Although China maintained active diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia during the 1980s and 1990s and vocally opposed the NATO bombing of Serbia and Montenegro in the late 1990s, economic outreach in the countries of former Yugoslavia only truly began (with Serbia) in the second decade of the 21st Century. Beijing’s relationship with Albania – not part of former Yugoslavia – was very close until the Sino-Albanian split of the 1970s, but this historical curiosity has little bearing on contemporary Sino-Albanian relations.

  • Construction of the Belgrade Bypass – Section C
    Transport Study for the Danube Macro-Region – Annex II of the Final Report Construction of the Belgrade bypass – section C General information This project regards the construction of a new stretch of Belgrade bypass motorway (i.e., Section C). The Belgrade bypass is a ring motorway linking important roads around the city1 (see Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2). The proposed project will extend the Belgrade bypass providing a link between Pan-European transport Corridor X and Corridor IV and will allow an uninterrupted transit for traffic travelling between the E-75 and the E-70. It will also divert the majority of transit traffic out of the Belgrade urban area. This section is 31 km long and includes a 600-meter-long combined road and rail bridge over the Danube River. As regards the relevance of the project, the construction of Section C of the Belgrade bypass has been identified as a priority project in the Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia 2010-2014-20202. This project is also linked with the feasibility study of the motorway section Belgrade-Pančevo-Vršac to Romania border (see section Napaka! Vira sklicevanja ni bilo mogoče najti.).

  • Briefing Paper
    Briefing paper Report from CEE Bankwatch Network Fact-Finding Mission on the Belgrade Bypass and Gazela Bridge projects 25th-27th June 2007 Background The Belgrade Bypass is designed as part of the Pan European corridor X and is intended to relieve the critical traffic situation in the Serbian capital. It is situated on the junction of two important corridors connecting Western Europe, Italy and Austria with Romania (E-70) and linking Austria with Greece and Turkey (E75) through the Balkans. The Belgrade Bypass project involves the construction of 69 kilometres in total of bypass roads to the west and south of Belgrade. It comprises 9.7 kilometres of Section A from Batajnica to Dobanovci, 37 kilometres of Section B from Dobanovci to Bubanj Potok and the 22 kilometre long Section C from Bubanj Potok through Vinca to Starcevo. The Gazela Bridge rehabilitation project comprises the reconstruction of the Gazela Bridge over the River Sava on the E70/E75 highway crossing, including the relocation of unregistered, predominantly Roma, settlements established underneath the bridge, and the upgrading of the R251 inner ring road between Lestane and Zeleznik, located in the south of Belgrade, with a total length of 29.4 kilometres. The resettlement of the Roma community is a particularly difficult issue. Around 2000 people (this varies by season) live in shacks made of scavenged materials, and the need for resettlement is clear. However previous attempts to resettle the same community failed due to resistance from the proposed host communities. Belgrade City Council therefore has no successful experience of such a resettlement programme.
