The first section stretches from the Bulgarian border to the city of Cuprija.

Currently, construction works are underway on the second part from Cuprija to the Danube River in Serbia’s north, Blic reported.

The third section stretches from the Danube to Gospogjinaca, and the fourth is from the Gospogjinaca to the border with Hungary near Horgos.
