President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic said today that the last section of the Belgrade-Kraljevo highway, from Preljina to Adrani, which is about 30 kilometers long, will be completed by Vidovdan (June 28), and pointed out that it will be "the most modern highway".

Vucic stated that the bypass around Kragujevac will also be completed.

"We will continue to work, we will also finish the bypass around Kragujevac, connect via Vuckovici, Knic and Mrcajevci with the Cacak-Kraljevo highway, continue from Kraljevo to Raska, Novi Pazar, Jarinje, and I believe Kosovska Mitrovica," he said.

The president pointed out that, "without big dreams, almost nothing can be achieved, let alone great deeds" and added that when he became prime minister, he "never even imagined that the highway to Kraljevo would be completed".

"After today's meeting with the companies Bechtel and Enka, and the ambassadors of the US and Turkey, after everything we have done over these years, I can tell you that before Vidovdan, we will open the Belgrade-Kraljevo highway, the last section from Preljina to Adrani, so, those 30 kilometers," Vucic said in a video posted on Instagram.

He added that he announced the completion of the highway on a day when there was "a lot of bad news about conflicts, wars, rising oil and gas prices".

Vucic stressed that even in the most difficult times, Serbia is finding the strength to lift itself up, to build its future and to believe in itself.

"Thank you for your support. There is no end to new wishes, new dreams. If you raise the bar high, then you can also jump over it. When you don't have dreams and when the bar is low, then your results are also low. Serbia can and will move forward and only achieve the best possible results. Long live Serbia!," said Vucic.
