The National Stadium in Surčin was supposed to be completed by the end of 2026, but the deadlines are moving, and the budget implementation shows serious deviations. Construction engineer Danijel Dašić tells Vreme that the project has been stalled for months and that all contracts will have to be reviewed.
The Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure informed the public that the contact network on the parts of the new railway towards the airport "Nikola Tesla" and the National Stadium was put under a voltage of 25.000 volts. He appeals that no one moves near the railway without authorization.
The construction site of the Expo 2027 complex and the National Stadium in Surčin is in the final stages of individual buildings. The total value of the project is estimated at more than 1,7 billion euros
The planned construction of the National Football Stadium has encountered an obstacle - the Ministry of Construction rejected the request for a building permit due to incomplete documentation
The Association of Architects of Serbia requests the withdrawal of the plan for the expansion of Belgrade on the water, and proves that the electronic public sessions were adopted outside the legal procedure
The Expo expanded from 114 to 813 hectares with the latest changes to the plan, which caused about 700 objections. The issue was resolved through an online public hearing, although this was not required by law
Although Vučić feared that the consequences of the tragedy in Novi Sad could affect the future of Serbian construction, the Government of Serbia allocated more than 300 billion dinars for capital projects this year. Some of these projects are more capital-intensive than others, and first and foremost is the mezimche of the Expo regime
In recent years, Belgrade has been designed by foreign architects. It is not known who hires them or according to what criteria they get jobs, but they impose an architecture on Belgrade that has nothing to do with it. Who are they and how many are there?
The budget for 2025 is adopted in the context of favorable economic circumstances for Serbia and the entire region of the Western Balkans. The total pie is increasing, but attention should be paid to issues of redistribution and transparency
The state will pay about 12 million euros for the expropriation of the land for the construction of the EXPO exhibition, or half a million euros per hectare. The land that is being bought also includes the former plot of the PKG company, which was sold by the state in 2018 at a price of 4700 euros for one hectare.
The construction project of the National Stadium in Surcin received a construction permit for the first phase of construction last week. Three months before that, the foundation stone was laid, thereby preempting all the necessary paperwork. Meanwhile, the state takes new loans every hour for this project
Poštanska štedionica will lend Serbia an additional 42 billion dinars for the National Stadium. The price for this project of "special" importance for Serbia has been auctioned since 2015
The first, preparatory works on the "Expo 2027" project will cost taxpayers more than 125 million euros without taxes
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, attended the ceremony on the occasion of the start of the construction of the National Stadium in Surčin. On that occasion, he said that the stadium will be built according to FIFA and UEFA standards, and that in 2028 the Europa League final will be played in Belgrade. He did not explain why Serbia needs another stadium, but he again announced flying taxis
The city of Belgrade announced a plan for the construction of a railway line to the area planned for holding the International Specialized Exhibition EXPO
It is estimated that the cost of construction could reach as much as 540 million euros. Economists' calculations show that less than 60 million euros are needed annually for free textbooks for all students
Two loans in the total amount of about 190 million euros will be taken for the works. The line infrastructure will be built by "Power Construction Corporation of China"
Why is it that instead of the stadium in Zaječar, on which twenty or more million euros will be spent, playgrounds for children, fitness tracks for recreational athletes and gymnasiums for physical education are not built at literally every school? Why do investors who build in Serbia have no obligation to provide space for the construction of sports fields in neighborhoods or at least parks where children could spend time outside in a safe environment?

Vučić and his associates succeeded in one thing: he made so many false promises (which he now calls dreams) that, as the children say, he "turned the game around", because where everything is a lie, there are no lies. And that's why Serbia should perhaps dream of something else: a community of serious and responsible people who finish what they started on time, because "it's never too late" may make sense for a music reality program, but it can hardly bring any results for the country
The stadium will have a regular circular shape and 52.000 seats. It will be partially covered, meaning the stands will mostly be covered, but the central part will be open. So there won't be a movable roof, but it's a very nice architectural solution, says Boban Velicković, head of the project supervision team.
The Prime Minister and the President of the State presented 2027 magnificent projects that will "completely change the appearance of Serbia", all related to the "EXPO XNUMX" project. By the way, when asked by journalist Tanjuga, Vučić also spoke about the letter of several dozen European parliamentarians in which they accuse Serbia and him personally of being responsible for the escalation in Kosovo.
