TRAFFIC
Already in the 2 nd century AD, Timočka krajina had good
roads, by standards of that time. Powerful Roman Empire,
having determined that it is under a great danger from the
crossing of Barbarians over the Danube, built a series of fortifications
along the big river. This Limes Moesiae stretched
from Belgrade to the Black Sea. For the purpose of supplying
the legions stationed there, Romans covered the entire area
of today’s Timočka krajina with roads, including the area of
what is today the city of Zaječar. In accordance with the available
data, an important road led from Niš (Na i sus), through
Rav na (Ti ma kum Mi nus), from there down the White Ti mok
to the Ko stol fortification at the confluence of the Black
and White Ti mo k. Here, the road branched toward Danube,
Morava River basin, Bulgaria and Poreč. The road toward
Morava River basin, by all accounts, was passing by the imperial
Ro mu li ana.
During the period of Turkish rule, the roads were fully
neglected and ruined. They were hardly any better by World
War Two, because the traffic was of low intensity, and means
of transportation did not require modern quality pavements.
The current road network was built mostly in the second
half of the 20 th century. As an example, constrction of the
road Za je čar-Pa ra ćin, which was the main connection between
Timočka krajina and Morava River basin and Belgrade,
started in 1963, and completed in 1969. Total length of the
