Abstract:
To take full advantages of two Corridors and to set up them for the servicing of the Serbian economy,
it is needed to create transport and infrastructure linkages as single logistic system. The network of
regional and local railroads and roads should connect the ports (port terminals) on the Danube and
industrial centers (zones) as major freight flow sources and destinations with railway nodes (rail road
terminals) on Corridor X. The current state of regional railroads does not provide quality linkages for
number of industrial centers with Corridor X and the most Danube ports (except for Novi Sad and
Belgrade).
Key words: railway, regional lines, revitalization
1. INTRODUCTION
To take full advantage of Corridor VII and Corridor X (Pan-European Corridors that are passing
through the Republic of Serbia) and to set up them for the servicing of the Serbian economy, it is
needed to create transport and infrastructure linkages as single logistic system. The network of
regional and local railroads and roads should connect the ports on the Danube and industrial zones as
major freight flow sources and destinations with railway nodes (rail road terminals) on Corridor X. Also,
it is necessary to connect to the other port - rail - road terminal on the Danube (Corridor VII). The
current state of regional railroads does not provide quality linkages for number of industrial centers
with Corridor X and the most Danube ports, except for Novi Sad and Belgrade (Figure 1).
