The construction of the Belgrade metro will begin by the end of next year, announced Deputy Mayor Goran Vesic. He added that the General Plan for the regulation of rail systems will be adopted in September, which will enable the issuance of a permit for the start of construction.
– That plan will enable further development of the BG train system and connection of Surcin and Obrenovac into the system, as well as better connection of other suburban municipalities – Vesic said on TV Pink.
It should be reminded that in February, Vesic announced that the construction of the subway, whose value will be around 3.8 billion euros, should start at the end of this year. At the public hearing on the topic of Air Quality in Serbia, organized by the Committee for Environmental Protection of the National Assembly, he said that after the completion of this project, about 30% of street traffic will be lowered underground.
In mid-May, the governments of Serbia and France signed an agreement with a donation of 8.3 million euros for the realization and financing of the Belgrade metro project.
– This agreement implies that we will start preparing a feasibility study, conceptual design and environmental impact assessment study for the first phase, ie the first metro line. But, we will also receive a proposal for a conceptual solution for the third line of the subway in Belgrade – said Zorana Mihajlovic at the time, adding that talks with Chinese partners were being held at the same time.
The public procurement plan of the Secretariat for Public Transport in Belgrade envisages that the competition for the design of the appearance of the metro station will be announced in June.
The plan of general regulation of rail systems in Belgrade envisages that BG metro stations will be built in four ways, as shallow underground stations with mezzanine (mezzanine) and without mezzanine, and as deep underground and aboveground stations.

Let us remind you that in 2019, the French company Egis, according to the contract with the City of Belgrade, completed the General Project and the Preliminary Feasibility Study for Metro Lines 1 and 2 in Belgrade, and read more about the lines and stations in a special news, eKapija reports.
