President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, visited construction sites today on the segment of the high-speed road "Ib Red," specifically between Bački Breg and Srpska Crnja near Bezdan. This visit was part of his ongoing efforts to highlight the significance of infrastructure projects in northern Serbia, particularly focusing on the broader "Osmeh Vojvodine" project. The initiative aims to connect several regions within Vojvodina and enhance transportation links with neighboring countries such as Hungary and Romania.
The total length of the high-speed road, which stretches from the Hungarian border at Bački Breg through cities like Sombor, Kula, Vrbas, Srbobran, Bečej, Novi Bečej, Kikinda, and finally to the Romanian border at Srpska Crnja, is 185.5 kilometers. It has been designed for a speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour. The project encompasses more than 11,000 hectares of land, divided into two sectors and eight segments.
An initial commercial contract was signed with the Azerbaijani company "Azvirt" for five segments totaling 94.2 kilometers, starting from Bački Breg and passing through Sombor, Kljajićev, Sivac, Crvenka, Kula, Vrbas, and ending at Srbobran. Additionally, a contract for the design and execution of the first 23 kilometers of this highway was signed on March 18 of this year in the presence of President Vučić, according to reports from "Koridor Srbije."
Construction activities on the first segment (Bački Breg-Sombor) currently involve removing topsoil, excavating materials at locations where cuts are planned, preparing the subgrade, constructing embankments, and laying the base layer. These efforts are aimed at significantly improving the geographical position of cities like Sombor and Kikinda, along with several surrounding municipalities, thereby facilitating their faster and more efficient development.
The areas naturally gravitating towards this new highway include the municipalities of Apatin, Odžaci, Bačka Palanka, Ada, and Nova Crnja. The completion of this highway will positively impact the inter-municipal connectivity within Vojvodina's regional centers, improve the connection between the western Bačka and northern Banat regions with the E75 motorway, and thus strengthen ties with Novi Sad, Belgrade, and other parts of Serbia. Furthermore, it will shorten the link between Vojvodina and both Hungary and Romania, enhancing international connectivity for the entire region.
President Vučić emphasized during his visit that the "Smajli" highway is crucial for saving the entire area, attracting investors, creating jobs, and ensuring a secure future for all. He stated that the goal is to complete the project within two and a half to three years, providing a safe future for everyone involved.
The highway includes 11 loops, 32 bridges, 34 overpasses, 12 underpasses, and three surface roundabouts. Construction work on the segment from Bački Breg to Kljajićev, which is 34.1 kilometers long, is expected to be completed by June 2028. Vučić requested the contractor, the Azerbaijani company "Azvirt," to finish this section by the time of the Day of Victory in 2028. He also highlighted the importance of completing the segment from Bački Breg to Sombor, which is 22.7 kilometers long, by April 2028.
Vučić noted that the completion of the segment up to Kljajićev is vital for the residents of that area and stressed the need to prepare for further extensions towards Kula, Vrbas, and Srbobran, as well as continuing through Radičević, Novi Bečej, Novi Milošev, Bočar, and towards Kikinda. He mentioned that the entire highway is expected to be completed within four to five years.
The highway will connect significant portions of Vojvodina, including western Bačka, northern Bačka, the northern part of the Southern Bačka district, northern Banat, and even central Banat. It will start from Malo Iđoš and Feketić, crossing after Vrbas and exiting at Srbobran. Vučić also emphasized the need to complete the rehabilitation of the main road from Sombor to Kula, which is 14 kilometers long, as it had been promised to citizens.
He pointed out that once the highways from Belgrade to Zrenjanin and Zrenjanin to Novi Sad are completed, the major roads in Vojvodina will be essentially resolved. Vučić highlighted that gas, electricity, and good roads attract investors who provide life to towns in Serbia. He noted that the state does not only build new highways but also invests 500 million euros annually in maintaining existing ones.
Vučić shared anecdotes about the economic progress in northern Serbia, mentioning that average wages in Sombor were 330 euros in 2012 but have now risen to 864 euros. He stressed the need to bring large investors to Sombor and acknowledged his personal efforts in supporting various regions, including Sombor, Požarevac, and others.
Regarding the quality of roads in Serbia, Vučić remarked that they are now comparable to racing tracks, noting that he hadn't seen a pothole on the highways in the past five years. He cited the example of Dara, the Bulgarian winner of Eurovision, who praised Serbian roads, saying, "When I enter Serbia, I am saved." Vučić emphasized that entering Serbia from EU countries now means encountering much better roads, highlighting investments from Croatia, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia.
In addition to the infrastructure developments, President Vučić is set to meet with Matteo Salvini, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, on July 6 and 7 in Belgrade. Their meeting, scheduled for 7 PM at the Tolstoy Club, aims to further strengthen cooperation between Serbia and Italy, focusing on infrastructure, transportation, and economic development. This visit follows previous meetings and underscores the strategic partnership between the two nations, especially regarding investments in infrastructure and logistics.
