The contract, estimated at €620 million, is co-financed by the European Union through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) and the Competitiveness and Cohesion Program (PKK). The project involves upgrading the existing line and constructing a second track on this segment of the international railway corridor.
Scope of Work:

- Modifications at Ostrna, Prečec, Širinec, Voloder, Repušnica, and Stara Subocka stops
- Construction of a new stop at Okešinec and closure of Prečec station
- Grade separation or closure of most level crossings, except for Ostrna, Križ, Lipovica, and Voloder
- Installation of new traffic control and signaling systems

Once completed, the upgraded line will allow maximum speeds of up to 160 km/h. The deadline for bid submission is April 8, 2025, with construction expected to last five years from the contractor’s commencement date.
