Srbijavoz

Srbijavoz (; formerly Srbija Voz, , Anglicized: Serbia Train) is the national passenger railway company of Serbia. Srbijavoz 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 by splitting the state-owned company Serbian Railways into separate businesses – Srbijavoz (passenger services), Srbija Kargo (freight transport) and Serbian Railways Infrastructure (infrastructure management). Srbijavoz was founded on 10 August 2015.

In February 2019, Srbijavoz temporarily suspended service on the Belgrade–Novi Sad railway, the country's busiest passenger route, due to the line's reconstruction. The line reopened in March 2022 after modernization with the launch of the high-speed "SOKO" service connecting the two most populated Serbian cities in 36 minutes, with trains reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h. The route is 75 km long and it is being extended to cover the segment of railway line between Novi Sad and Subotica (near the border with Hungary), to enable speeds of up to 200 km/h as part of the modernization of the Belgrade-Budapest railway line. Extension of services to Subotica started in October 2025.

Reconstruction and modernization is also planned for the railway line between Belgrade and NiÅ¡ to enable trains to reach the speeds of up to 200 km/h, between NiÅ¡ and PreÅ¡evo (border with North Macedonia) for the speed of 160 km/h and between NiÅ¡ and Dimitrovgrad for the speed of 120 km/h (border with Bulgaria).

Passenger transport

Srbijavoz inherited the passenger transport operations of Serbian Railways after its founding. Since 2015, it operates train services across the country, including international routes to neighbouring countries and domestic routes (fast, regional and local lines).

Domestic railway network

The Serbian railway system consists of 3,739 km of rails of which 295 km is double track (7.9% of the network). Some 1,279 km of track (33.6% of the network) is electrified. Serbia has rail links with all neighbouring countries.

Railroads are categorized as "main lines", "regional lines", "local lines" or "manipulative lines". Below is a list of main lines in Serbia:

Inter-City Trains

Srbija Voz operates a high-speed service called SOKO ("falcon" in Serbian) from Belgrade to Subotica with KISS 200 electric multiple units that reaches speeds of up to 200 km/h and covers the route in 79 minutes. This rail connection is the busiest one in Serbia.

Regional Trains

The Regio is a service that offers domestic connections to Novi Sad, Subotica, Niš, Zrenjanin, Valjevo, Kraljevo, Užice, Sombor, Požarevac, Zaječar, Vršac, Kikinda, Prokuplje and Ruma. FLIRT3 EMU of Class 413 provide the service on electrified lines, while on non-electrified lines transport is provided by RA2 DMU of Class 711.

Regio trains also used to operate on the route from Kraljevo to North Mitrovica in North Kosovo, which was a domestic route from Serbia's point of view, but an international route from Kosovo’s point of view.
