Vucevic: 686 Kilometers of Highways Built Since Vucic
SNS president Milos Vucevic toured the continuation of the Morava Corridor works in Raska County and announced that highway, expressway and local road construction will continue across Serbia.
Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) president Milos Vucevic toured the continuation of the Morava Corridor works in Raska County on September 22. During the visit, he said that 686 kilometers of highways and expressways have been built in Serbia since Aleksandar Vucic took charge of the state, and announced that road construction will keep going in the period ahead.
Vucevic shared an update from the field on Instagram, saying the state continues building highways, expressways, and local and regional roads to connect every part of the country. He used the post to criticize the ongoing blockades.
Blockades bring gridlock, division, hatred and conflict. Only united can we continue Serbia’s development, strengthen our state, secure growth in wages and pensions, build new schools, equip hospitals and strengthen the Serbian Army. United Serbia can do anything! Only a united Serbia wins.
Vucevic closed the post with that message, listing higher wages and pensions, new schools, equipped hospitals and a stronger Serbian Army as the goals he attributes to what he calls a united Serbia.
Where the Morava Corridor Leads
The stretch Vucevic toured is part of the Morava Corridor, a road linking Rasina, Raska and Moravica counties with Corridor 10 and Corridor 11. The route runs through Cacak, Kraljevo, Vrnjacka Banja, Trstenik, Krusevac, Stalac and Cicevac, an area home to more than half a million people according to earlier data. The 686 kilometer figure for highways and expressways that Vucevic cited covers the period since Vucic has led the state, though the post itself gives no more precise timeframe.
The Raska County visit continues a string of field trips Vucevic has made across different parts of Serbia in recent days. He toured Nisava County on September 15, and has also met with winemakers in Kragujevac and rakija producers in Gruza. Vucevic is running second on the “Aleksandar Vucic, United Serbia” list for the October 25 election, so the field visits track the list’s campaign as well.
Other outlets also reported on the Raska County visit the same day, and one detail varied between accounts: while Vucevic posted the message about blockades on Instagram, one outlet cited Facebook as the platform. The content of the message, including the direct quote about blockades and a united Serbia, matched across every report.
With several weeks left until the October 25 election, such tours are expected to continue as a regular part of the SNS campaign, with infrastructure projects framed as the case for staying in power.
