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. -
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.

The Third Number of the PE „Roads of Serbia“ Newsletter
The third number of the PE „Roads of Serbia“ Newsletter „In everything that man pushes by his vital instincts, builds and raises, nothing is more beautiful or more precious than bridges”. Ivo Andric . HIGHLIGHTS: New Beška Bridge is opened to traffic Зоран Стојисављевић, B.Sc. (C.E.) „Bigger investments – better roads” Gazela Bridge Rehabilitation Environmental Protection Lower tolls for vans Acknowledgement of the Tradition Preservation Huge Construction Undertaking On the occasion of works completion and opening to traffic the new bridge on the Danube at Beška, the Director General of the PE “Roads of Serbia”, Zoran Drobnjak, emphasizes: “I am proud that we have built one of the biggest and longest bridges in Europe. Even though we had big problems during construction because of the landslide occurrence on the right bank of the Danube and its remedy, we managed to build new bridge that is only five meters away from the existing one. Realization of these works is huge construction undertaking that requires great skills of everyone included in the construction of twin bridges over Beška. I congratulate everyone that contributed to the construction of this grand structure, which will be of use to the future generations and shall be in operation for the next 125 years”. Gazela Bridge Rehabilitation Works on the Gazela Bridge are in their final phase, which implies the bridge reconstruction on the main traffic route towards Novi Beograd. The works on pavement of the upstream side of the bridge were finished in the last three months in Šid- Niš direction and one half of the bridge was opened to traffic in its full width on July 18th. -

The Future of the Auto World in the COVID Era
INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL "TRANS & MOTAUTO WORLD" WEB ISSN 2534-8493; PRINT ISSN 2367-8399 The future of the auto world in the COVID era Nataša Tomić- Petrović University of Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: The eco car of the year 2020 was the “Corolla HB” 1.8 HSD. The French made the original car, after the new "Peugeot 208", the base is the same as in the model "2008", which is 25 cm longer, the wheelbase is 2.6 meters and it is dominated by power. Its maximum speed is 198 kilometers/h. No one can compare to the French "lion". "Mercedes" announced that Formula 1 drivers will drive completely black cars instead of the "silver arrow" in the upcoming season, thus promising the fight against racism and increasing diversity in their champion team. The auditing company "Deloitte" claims that the automobile industry in the world is about to collapse due to the consequences of the Corona virus pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic is not subsiding, now Mexico and the Brazil are the most endangered. During the epidemic in Serbia in April this year, the production of motor vehicles and trailers decreased by 84%, and in Kragujevac based "Fiat" was faced not only with a lack of demand, but also with a lack of parts for production. During the state of emergency, truckers w ere particularly endangered and suffered heavy losses. Losses in the passenger domestic and international bus traffic were then estimated at 2 8 million euros. Despite the pandemic that reigns, "Renault" has confirmed its leading position on the European electric car market.
