N1 reports that Srbijavoz is buying 30 new Spanish CAF trains for BG Voz with a state guarantee for a 5.5 billion dinar, or 46.9 million euro, loan.

On June 13, the Center for Local Self-Government said GSP Beograd was short about 70 million dinars for May because of failures and unreliability in the Bus Logic public-transport tracking and control system.
