November 17 (SeeNews) - Serbia’s government said on Friday that it has signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) with North Macedonia on the construction of a high-speed railway line connecting the southern Serbian city of Nis to North Macedonia's capital Skopje.
The two countries will jointly seek funding from the European Union for the project, the government said in a press release.
In Serbia, the design of a 135-kilometre section from Nis to Presevo, near the border with North Macedonia, is already underway, Serbia's infrastructure minister Goran Vesic said earlier, as quoted by local media reports.
In North Macedonia, the railway line will be some 50 km long.
The high-speed rail link will enable train speed of up to 120 km per hour.
