note: during to the 1999 Kosovo conflict, the Serbian rail system

Montenegrin rail lines remain intact

note: The Danube River, which connects Europe with the Black Sea,
runs through Serbia; since early 2000, a pontoon bridge, replacing a
destroyed conventional bridge, has obstructed river traffic at Novi
