The main railway line connecting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital of Sarajevo to neighbouring Serbia is to be reopened this year, Bosnia & Herzegovina Federal Railways has announced.
According to the country’s national rail operator, regular rail services from Sarajevo to Belgrade will begin this September, when the autumn schedule comes into effect.
The move comes 17 years after the outbreak of war forced the line to be closed.
Sarajevo will become the last of the former Yugoslav republics’ capitals to restore regular rail services to Belgrade, with multiple daily services already well established between Belgrade and Ljubljana, Podgorica, Skopje and Zagreb.
