Srbija Voz

Srbija Voz ( sr-Cyrl, Србија Воз; English: ''Serbia Train'') is the national passenger railway company of Serbia. Srbija Voz is an associate member of the International Union of Railways (UIC) since 2016.

History

In March 2015, the Government of Serbia announced its plan to establish three new railway companies, splitting the Serbian Railways state-owned company in separate businesses – passenger (Srbija Voz), cargo (Srbija Kargo) and infrastructure (Serbian Railways Infrastructure). Srbija Voz was founded on 10 August 2015, as the national passenger railway company of Serbia, after being split from the Serbian Railways, in the process of reconstruction and better optimization of business.

In February 2019, Srbija Voz temporarily suspended transportation on Belgrade–Novi Sad railway (one of the country’s most frequent passenger routes) until February 2022, due to the railway line’s reconstruction. This line in now operational and the Fast trains - Serbian "SOKO" are going up to 200 km/h, connecting two cities in 36 minutes (75 km).
