A2 Miloš Veliki Motorway (Belgrade – Požega)

The A2 «Miloš Veliki» motorway on European route E763, running south-west from Belgrade at Surčin through Obrenovac, Ub, Lajkovac and Ljig to Preljina near Čačak, then west through Lučani to Požega, opened section by section between 2016 and 2025. Section lengths here are the figures published by JP Putevi Srbije and the ministry rather than measurements off the mapped alignment: the Lajkovac–Ljig contract boundary sits about 3 km from the Ljig interchange used to cut the geometry, though the Lajkovac–Preljina total agrees to within 600 m. The 7.9 km Novi Beograd – Surčin road that links the city to the motorway (opened 1 April 2023) is a state road designed for 80 km/h with at-grade junctions, so it is not recorded here. Nor is the Požega–Boljare extension to the Montenegrin border (about 107 km): a contract for design and works on Požega–Duga Poljana (75 km) was signed on 26 December 2021, but the ministry says works can be contracted only once design and financing are in place, and the route still awaits its spatial plan.
