President Aleksandar Vučić announced in Negotin that the high-speed road from Požarevac to Golubac will be completed within a year, and construction will continue towards Brza Palanka, Negotin, and Kladovo.
“We will continue the moment we finish the high-speed road to Golupec and the ring road around Golubac. Once we start working, we will extend the road to Brza Palanka. After reaching Brza Palanka, we will proceed to Negotin and Kladovo,” said Vučić during his visit to the Zaječar and Bor districts. He emphasized that the high-speed road to Brza Palanka will boost tourism in the region and attract more investors.
“This will give the rest of Serbia the chance to discover what I consider one of the most beautiful parts of our country. These are strategic projects, and with your help and support, I believe we can accomplish them,” Vučić said. He added that he traveled to Negotin via the newly improved road from Zaječar, which had been a long-standing request from the local community, and he praised the development of a good road network.
Vučić noted that although he did not see many vehicles on the road, he hoped to see more in the future. He also discussed ongoing projects for Negotin, including the completion of work on both the Health Center and other facilities. “These are two major projects for Negotin that must be addressed immediately, and we’re allocating significant funds for them. Additionally, we plan to construct the Negotin-Čubra road,” said Vučić.
The president also mentioned the construction of the Paraćin-Prahovo gas pipeline, which is expected to be completed in about three years. While it’s unlikely to be finished sooner, this project will significantly benefit investors in Prahovo, including Elixir, and will provide a boost to Negotin’s economy. “This will create many new jobs and generate more income for the municipality, allowing them to improve local infrastructure, including roads, water supply, and sewage systems,” Vučić added.
Vučić acknowledged that the first two months of the year had been challenging, due to blockades and other attempts to harm the country. “We’ve had the lowest inflow of foreign direct investments, but I believe that, as we continue to persevere, we will overcome these challenges and put the country back on the right path,” he stated. He also touched on the recent issues in Belgrade high schools, stressing that such behavior was unacceptable and contrary to Serbian education, tradition, and society. “But together, we will overcome all these problems,” Vučić concluded.
