March 12 (SeeNews) - Serbia will invest 202 million dinars ($1.9 million/1.7 million euro) in the overhaul of sixteen railway stations across the country, infrastructure minister Goran Vesic said on Tuesday.
Many of these facilities will be reconstructed for the first time, they are in extremely bad condition, Vesic told local TV Prva, as seen in a video published by media outlet B92.
Fourteen of the railway stations are located in the northern autonomous province of Vojvodina, Vesic said. The Novi Beograd railway station in the Serbian capital will also be renovated.
Last month, Vesic said that Serbia plans to launch the reconstruction of some 2,000 kilometres of its railways this year.
Serbia expects to complete the overhaul of the Novi Sad-Subotica section of the railway line linking Belgrade to Hungary's Budapest. In March 2023, Vesic said that Hungary is expected to complete by 2025 the overhaul of its 152 km section of the Budapest-Belgrade railway line.
