Initiative for the construction of a bridge between Serbia and Romania signed in Golubac

An initiative for the construction of a bridge between Serbia and Romania at the entrance to the Djerdap Gorge was signed in Golupac. The presidents of the seven border municipalities believe that this would contribute to the faster development of the Danube region.

Although seemingly close, the neighbors have to travel at least 200 kilometers by land from Golubac to Moldova Noua on the Romanian bank of the Danube. That is why the signing of the initiative for the construction of a bridge at the entrance to the Djerdap Gorge made all the locals happy.

The initiative with the municipality of Golubac was signed by six border municipalities from Romania, which they will send to the competent ministries and governments of the two countries. The bridge should span 370 meters of the Danube and would be the only bridge between Smederevo and Kladovo.

- The Danube region would develop faster, the municipalities that gravitate towards that region would strengthen economically much faster and simply put: when you have a greater traffic of goods, people and services, of course that area will develop quickly and economically - says Nebojsa Mijovic, president of the Golubac municipality.

The idea for the bridge between Golupac and Coronini was inspired by the construction of the expressway to eastern Serbia. Representatives of Romanian municipalities say that Belgrade is five times closer to them than Bucharest.

- This bridge could once again revive our port, which was the largest industrial port in this area, but also make the transport of our goods by road cheaper and increase the traffic of goods with Serbia. So the perspective is very broad - says Jan Kiselica, president of the Romanian municipality of Moldova Noua.

The new bridge would speed up the development of the Branicevo, Bor and Danube districts in Serbia, and connect around a million people on both sides of the Danube, according to the initiators of the initiative.
