The railway line (Belgrade) Batajnica - Stara Pazova - Šid - border with Croatia is part of the Pan-European Corridor X, Branch C, and part of the Railway Freight Corridor called the Alpine - Western Balkans Corridor. The line is electrified by means of a single-phase 25 kV, 50 Hz system on its entire length. The alignment of the tracks allows for a maximum speed of up to 120km/h, but, due to the poor condition of the line, the speed has been reduced on some of the sections. This line is very important for passenger traffic because it connects two capitals, Belgrade (SER) and Zagreb (CRO).
To support the reconstruction and modernisation of the railway lines Stara Pazova - Šid - state Border and Indjija - Golubinci, WBIF has provided a technical assistance grant to finance the preparation of the Option Analysis, Feasibility Study and Cost-Benefit Analysis, Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), and Preliminary Design.
