The European Union has committed €134 million to modernise, reconstruct and electrify the Niš-Dimitrovgrad railway section. The financing package includes a €100 million European Investment Bank (EIB Global) loan to upgrade the Sićevo-Dimitrovgrad rail line, electrify and install signalling along the entire Niš-Dimitrovgrad route. This is complemented by a €34 million EU grant for constructing a rail bypass around Niš.
