History
In March 2015, the Government of Serbia announced its plan to establish three new railway companies, splitting the Serbian Railways in separate businesses - cargo, passenger and infrastructure.[4]
Srbija Voz was founded on 10 August 2015, as the national passenger railway company, after being split from the Serbian Railways, in the process of reconstruction and better optimization of business.[5]
In February 2019, Srbija Voz temporarily suspended transportation on Belgrade–Novi Sad railway (one of the country's most frequent passenger routes) until 2022, due to railway reconstruction.[6]
