Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić today inspected the construction works on the Danube bridge near Petrovaradin, part of the massive infrastructure project known as the Fruška Gora Corridor. This corridor is planned as a high-speed road connecting Novi Sad and Ruma, and in a broader sense, Šabac, Loznica, and the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project is slated for completion in 2025, with the Danube bridge being a crucial part of this transport network.
Vučić announced the inspection would start at 11 a.m., emphasizing the project’s importance for regional development and connectivity. The Fruška Gora Corridor is envisioned as a modern highway that will ease transport and boost economic cooperation between cities and countries in the region.
However, while the government celebrates progress, citizens and experts raise questions about deadlines and transparency. Projects of this scale often face delays and rising costs. Will the Fruška Gora Corridor really be finished by 2025, or are we just hearing empty promises again? The Danube bridge near Petrovaradin is just one of many infrastructure projects that promise a lot but deliver little tangible results anytime soon.
Vučić uses every opportunity to portray himself as a leader bringing development and investment. But is this just a public show or real change? As we wait for the completion of the bridge and corridor, we can only watch and see if these projects will truly transform Serbia or remain just another campaign story.
