BELGRADE, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic attended the breakthrough of the right tube of the Munjino Brdo tunnel on Thursday, a key segment of the Chinese company-built highway section from Preljina to Pozega along the Belgrade-South Adriatic corridor (E-763).
According to a press release from the Serbian government, the event was also attended by Minister of Construction, Transport, and Infrastructure Goran Vesic, as well as the acting director of "Putevi Srbije," Zoran Drobnjak.
