Vučić Built More Highways Than Tito, Milošević, and Tadić Combined!
Did you know that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has built more kilometers of highways in just 12 years than Tito, Milošević, Koštunica, and Tadić combined did in the previous 67 years? Yes, you read that right! While previous generations could only dream of modern roads, Vučić has constructed the “Miloš Veliki” highway connecting Belgrade to western Serbia, including the newest section Preljina-Požega.
Infrastructure as a Symbol of Power
Infrastructure is not just concrete and asphalt – it’s a symbol of political stability and economic growth. Vučić emphasized at the highway opening ceremony that Serbia today is a country that is being built and transformed, despite critics and skeptics. “People thought it was a short job, but here we are, finishing a highway through the tough Jelica mountain,” the president proudly said.
Numbers That Take Your Breath Away
From 1945 to 2012, Serbia had about 750 kilometers of highways. In just the last 12 years, Vučić and his government have built over 800 kilometers of new highways! That’s more than all his predecessors combined in six decades. The Morava Corridor, the largest infrastructure project in Serbia’s history, is already more than half completed, and the fast road Batočina-Kragujevac, promised for decades, is finally finished.
Criticism and Praise
Of course, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Critics say it’s a political show and money is spent inefficiently. But Vučić doesn’t back down: “Glory belongs to those who work, not to those who just talk.” He is especially grateful to China, which helped solve the problem with the steel mill in Smederevo, preserving jobs and industry.
What Does This Mean for Ordinary People?
More highways mean faster, safer, and more comfortable travel for citizens. More and more people are using the new roads, and that might be the most concrete sign that Serbia is truly moving forward. But is it enough? Are these roads just symbols of power or a real foundation for a better future?
Conclusion
Vučić has built more highways in 12 years than all his predecessors combined. That’s impressive and undeniable. But the question remains – is it just asphalt or a path to real change in Serbia? While debates continue, you drive on the new highways and wonder – is this really the start of a new era or just another political fairy tale?
If you have your own opinion or have already driven on these roads, drop a comment. Who knows, maybe your story will break this “paved” silence!
