Actually these were made originally for Westbahn, just not needed in the end. That's why they can do 200 instead of 160 kmh and that's why they done in the older Stadler Dosto design instead of the newer KISS design modified for the European crash safety standards implemented in the mid 2010s. And they were delivered in this Soko delivery in less than a year from the ordering which should be 4-5 years novadays for a standard new order.

Works on the section Novi Sad - Subotica started a few months ago, it will be completed by 2024, and also Hungary started working on their part from Budapest to Serbia (although with 160 km/h limitation but that's the same basically). Also project documentation is prepared for Belgrade - Niš, so Soko Stadler trains will have longer journey in the near future than this 80 km. Also construction of station building of Belgrade Center (on the concrete plate above tracks) will start probably by the end of this year, it will be built by private company and in return they will get office space around the station. 10:11 those tracks on the left are abandoned railway tracks for the Old Railway Station (1884-2018) in city center, they are removed now, so old railway bridge across Sava river is also not in function anymore and will be probably turned into pedestrian-bicycle bridge.

Soko/Coko trains are based on the Stadler KISS type. Although they are shaped like conventional trains but are designed as high-speed trains, there is something you should know that Stadler Rail will do a joint venture with PT.

I tried this train from Belgrade Centar to Novi Sad and vice versa. The train is fast, modern and comfortable. As Novi Sad being number two city in Serbia, I wonder why there's no train or bus from Belgrade airport to Novi Sad. Taking a taxi from the airport to Belgrade Centar station is very boring because taxi drivers always want to take advantage of tourists. As I am Brazilian and this was my only complaint in Serbia.

Thing is the REAL reason why its cheap is due to promotion(now extended) promotional period and also due to goverment subsudising it so it maintains that price. While its great for people its BAD for countries/local city budget due to being forced to subsudise the ticket wich is another thing that is basicaly taking/reducing the budget of country/city. So instaed of that money going into otehr much needed things instead it goes into subsidisng tickets bcs the original/real price of the ticket was around 1000-1200 dinars.
