Serbia just stepped into the fast lane! 🚄 A sleek new high-speed train, built by China's CRRC, was unveiled in Belgrade on Friday, with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić cheering it as a game-changer for regional travel. The ceremony at Zemun station marked a major milestone for the Belgrade-Budapest railway project, a key link in China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Five state-of-the-art trains will soon whisk passengers along the 180-km Serbian stretch of the route, cutting travel time from Belgrade to Subotica (near the Hungary border) to just 70 minutes ⏱️—faster than streaming a full episode of Squid Game! 🌍
Vučić praised the collaboration, shouting out the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC): \"These people work miracles!\" 👏 The project promises to boost tourism, trade, and tech connectivity across the Balkans.
