Srbijavoz
Serbian passenger railway company
Srbijavoz (Serbian Cyrillic: Србијавоз; Anglicized: Serbiatrain) 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 Niš to enable trains to reach the speeds of up to 200 km/h, between Niš and Preševo (border with North Macedonia) for the speed of 160 km/h and between Niš 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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Srbijavoz” as serbian passenger railway company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as serbian passenger railway company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25459717. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2015, 2019 and 2022.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
