Alstom Central and Eastern Europe managing director Antonio Moreno said: “We are immensely proud that Alstom’s solutions will be part of the construction of the Belgrade metro, which is a very important infrastructure project in the Balkan region.

According to a preliminary design, the Belgrade metro project will include two lines. The 22km-long first line will run along the Sava river, crossing Belgrade city centre, and connect the Makisko Polje area with the Mirijevo urban neighbourhood.
