Serbian government estimates that the Corridor 10 will be completed by end of 2013.

In the meantime, construction continues on the unofficial "Corridor 11". Currently, a 12 km stretch between Ub and Lajkovac is under construction, and the plans for the construction by Sava river have been approved on October 5, 2011.

List of the motorways

Though the Serbian word for motorway is "autoput", the "A1", "A2" or "A3" road designations don't seem to be in use in the country. E-numeration is used instead.
