Belgrade metro

This story follows the Belgrade metro project: the first-line route, construction deadlines, exhibition and preparatory sites, and the roles of JP Beogradski metro i voz, Alstom, and city/republic authorities. For readers, it is a practical city story about how a promised transport project affects neighborhoods, budgets, and future mobility.

• On June 19, 2026, Nikola Nikodijevic told N1 that the exact date for fully closing Bulevar despota Stefana is still unknown because EPS cables and Interior Ministry infrastructure must be moved.
• According to Nikodijevic, once the metro boring machines start work, traffic from Cvijiceva to Pancevacki most will be fully closed for about seven months, and the city will announce alternative routes in advance.
• On June 14, 2026, N1 reported that a "Beogradski metro i voz" exhibition space is being prepared under the Slavija square plateau, but the company did not explain the space's purpose or opening date.
• The entrance to the premises has already been covered with metro drawings, although, in N1's wording, tunnel digging has not yet begun.
• Milos Vuckovic of Kreni-promeni called the exhibition space a "Potemkin village" and tied it to pre-election use of large infrastructure promises.
• Critics from the Po meri metro initiative continue to point to the disputed first-line route: through Belgrade Waterfront, not through Prokop and the Clinical Center of Serbia.
• The project remains an important Belgrade transport story because official deadlines, the real start of tunnel works, and the metro's connection with existing rail/medical hubs remain publicly contested.
