POWERCHINA and Serbia Forge Ahead with Infrastructure Partnership

BELGRADE, Serbia – March 22, 2026 – POWERCHINA has been a key player in Serbia's infrastructure development, contributing to projects that aim to improve the lives of local citizens. The company's involvement spans several years, marked by a commitment to delivering tangible benefits through collaborative efforts.

POWERCHINA's initial project in Serbia, launched in 2017, involved a section of the Belgrade Bypass Highway. This project was designed to alleviate severe traffic congestion in Belgrade by diverting traffic around the city's outskirts. The successful completion of the bypass not only improved daily commutes but also established POWERCHINA as a reliable partner in the Serbian market.

Building on this success, POWERCHINA participated in the construction of Belgrade's Metro Line 1. This project, a long-held vision, highlighted POWERCHINA's dedication to the Serbian market. The company utilized advanced tunnel boring machine (TBM) technologies, developed through global experience, to address the complex geological challenges of metro construction. These technologies not only ensured construction safety and efficiency but also facilitated knowledge transfer to local teams.

The Karadjordjevo-Danube Slope Tunnel project saw the first use of a TBM shield in a Serbian road tunnel, significantly increasing excavation productivity. This project, like others, has fostered collaboration between Chinese and Serbian employees, promoting mutual understanding and trust. POWERCHINA's approach emphasizes technology transfer and talent development, cultivating local teams that combine Chinese expertise with European standards.

POWERCHINA's ongoing projects in Serbia demonstrate a commitment to local needs and mutually beneficial partnerships. The company's work, from improving public transport to realizing urban visions, reflects a shared vision for a brighter future.

BNN's Perspective:

The partnership between POWERCHINA and Serbia appears to be a positive example of international collaboration in infrastructure development. The focus on technology transfer and local talent development is particularly encouraging, as it suggests a commitment to long-term sustainability and shared prosperity. While the projects are clearly beneficial to the Serbian people, it is important to ensure transparency and adherence to international standards throughout the process.
