CONDITION of the SERBIAN RAILWAYS INFRASTRUCTURE and CHANCES for ITS FAIRL INCLUSION in the EUROPEAN RAILWAYS Zaneta Ostojic
CONDITION OF THE SERBIAN RAILWAYS INFRASTRUCTURE AND CHANCES FOR ITS FAIRL INCLUSION IN THE EUROPEAN RAILWAYS Zaneta Ostojic Barjaktarevic Institute of transportation CIP Belgrade During the last decade, railways all around the world have experienced significant changes within the domains of the railways as a part of Civil engineering as well as regarding the organizational structure and market orientation in transportation. During the 90's, many countries of European Union have started the organizational restructuring of the national railways, and EU has established a policy of bringing the railways into life again. Efficient transportation policy should come as an effect of this. At the same time, while European railways are handling these organizational changes, having in mind that most of the technical problems have been solved successfully, Serbian railways are experiencing their hardest period ever. Because of the well-known political situation in the region, in combination with a bad and incompetent management, wrong investments and lack of real strategy in specific conditions, Serbian railways are now in disastrous condition. Infrastructure objects are in condition that endangers all comparative advantages of the railway traffic: efficiency, punctuality and security. During the last ten years, repairs on total length of 144.8 km of tracks had been done, while only the annual needs are bigger than that. The machines for maintenance of the tracks are in their second or third working age (amortization up to 300%), which is a state not known for Europe; 60-70% of vehicles are in very bad condition; 70% of telecommunications are on the edge of being useless, contact wire is on the edge of being damaged. -
Railway Transport System in Serbia
Speaker: Lazar Radaković, assistant minister TOPIC: Current status of railway system in Republic of Serbia and policies for better transport connectivity OUTLINE • Serbian railway system – characteristics • Serbian railway system – current investment cycle • Serbian railway system – new investment cycle • The development of intermodal terminals • Reform of the railway sector • Soft measures towards connectivity SERBIAN RAILWAY SYSTEM - CHARACTERISTICS Total length of railway lines on the territory Republic of Serbia is 3724,5 km. Of these, 3435,8 km of single-track and 288,7 km of double-track railway lines. The total length of the electrified railway lines is 1272,7 km. Of these, 984 km are single- track and 288,6km are double-track railway lines. The railway line with strategic importance for Serbia is part of the Pan-European rail Corridor X which go through Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Greece. This very important corridor through Serbia has a total length of 872 km, which makes up 23% of the Serbian network. The Republic of Serbia has set the reconstruction of Corridor X as one of its main priority. The aim is to raise competitiveness, bearing in mind the importance of rail transit through Serbia. In order to increase the efficiency of the railway transport system, its positive economic impact on the economy and to establish the compatibility of the Serbia rail transport system with the European Union system, in the previous period Government of Republic of Serbia (hereinafter: GoS) started a large number of RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS and implementation of POLICIES FOR BETTER TRANSPORT CONNECTITIVITY. SERBIAN RAILWAY SYSTEM – CURRENT INVESTMENT CYCLE Funds were provided through three sources of funding. -

S. Elatri for the CER Psychologists' Subgroup1
EUROPEAN LEGISLATION AND OCCUPATIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF TRAIN DRIVERS AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED PERSONNEL S. Elatri for the CER Psychologists’ Subgroup1 The CER Psychologists’ Subgroup is composed of psychologists from: SNCF, RFI/FS, RSSB, OBB, Deutsche Bahn, SBB, CFL, BHTNSB, DVI, Serbian Railways, BDZ-EAD, CPS, VR Group. “Evidence shows that driver performance largely depends on psychological occupational aptitudes and personality/ behavioural skills. It is important to produce some guidance on assessment in this area to facilitate interoperability, to support safe working, and ensure consistent standards within and between European states. The aim of the Community of the European Railway (CER) Psychologists’ Subgroup is to produce a common frame of reference and clearly defined psychological criteria for the assessment of train drivers and other safety related personnel. The work started from a job analysis published in a CER document in 1999 which defined a list of occupational psychological aptitudes and personality traits and medical requirements. When the Technical Specifications of Interoperability (TSI) Operations and Traffic Management (2006/920/EC) was produced in consultation with the social partners, it took into account this information. In 2004 an agreement was signed between the CER and ETF (European Transport Worker’s Federation) concerning certain working conditions of mobile workers in cross-border services and sets out best practices for this domain, including occupational psychological criteria to be evaluated. The role of the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) was also important here as it produced points 4.6 and 4.7 of the TSI and the related Annexes of the OPE TSI (AEIF Ex-Per Group). -

Restructuring of Serbian Railways Jsc1
DOI 10.20544/HORIZONS.B.03.1.16.P49 UDC 656.2:69.059.7 (497.2) RESTRUCTURING OF SERBIAN RAILWAYS JSC1 Nenad Kecman1, Života Đorđević "Serbian Railways" JSC, Nemanjina 6 Belgrade, Serbia [email protected] Abstract The restructuring process of "Serbian Railways” JSC (Serbian Railways) was launched in 1991 and due to various reasons has not been implemented until 2015. After 25 years of "preparation" restructuring process was carried out in a way that only formally satisfy the government, World Bank, IMF and the EU and essentially will lead the Company to even greater uncertainty and struggle for survival. During the last 25 years, the railways has been neglected and forgotten by the State. In the last two years significant investments are going on, however the Company is not prepared to enrich the capital and valorizes it on the transport market. Keywords – „Serbian Railways“ JSC; Serbian Government; IMF; World Bank; European Union; Restructuring INTRODUCTION Railways represent a unique organizational and technical- technological system. Failure to adapt to market conditions, the expansion of road transport, insufficient quality and incompleteness of transport services, high operating costs, high losses, inadequate organization of system, etc., influenced the initiation processes of transformation of the railway. In the year 1991 the EU directives set out the foundation and guidelines for the restructuring of the railway system and railway companies (Directive 91/440 / EEC on the development of railways in the future). REB „Belgrade" has started preparatory activities for the restructuring process already in 1991, but because of international sanctions imposed by the international community and because of wars on the territory of former Yugoslavia, these activities were frozen. -
