The Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of Serbia, Tomislav Momirović, paid a working visit to Switzerland on October 18, during which he met with Simoneta Somaruga, the Federal Minister for Environment, Transport, Energy, and Communications of Switzerland.

Momirović emphasized that the electrification of certain railway sections in Serbia will continue, and that the procurement of new hybrid trains from Switzerland, which use both electric and battery power for sections that are not electrified, is also being considered. He noted that investments in the development of railways in Serbia are evident in the procurement of new high-speed trains from Switzerland, the introduction of new lines, and the expansion of the electrified railway network.

During the visit, the Minister, along with the directors of Srbija Cargo, Infrastruktura železnica Srbija, and Srbija Voz, also visited Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). A meeting was held with Linus Loser, the Director of Passenger Transport and a member of the Board of Directors of SBB, to discuss the reorganization of railway transport in Serbia and how to make it more efficient.
