The A1 motorway (Serbian: Аутопут А1 / Autoput A1) is a motorway in Serbia and with 554 kilometers (344 mi) it is the longest motorway in Serbia. It crosses the country from north to south, starting at Horgoš border crossing with Hungary and ending with Preševo border crossing with Republic of Macedonia. As a part of the European route E75 and Pan-European corridor X, connecting 4 of 5 largest Serbian cities (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Subotica), it is the most vital part of Serbian road network. Section between Belgrade and Niš was opened in 1977, first road of motorway type built in Serbia and in the former Yugoslavia for that matter.
