The strategy, adopted by the Serbian government on 8 August, sets the timeline for the 5G rollout, starting with the auction for frequency allocation slated for late 2025.
The deployment of the 5G network will commence in 2026, aiming to cover 10% of the country by that year. By 2027, 40% of Serbia’s territory is expected to have 5G coverage. Notably, the entire EXPO 2027 complex will be equipped with 5G signal by 2026, underscoring the government’s commitment to advancing digital infrastructure in line with global standards.
This strategic plan marks a significant step forward in Serbia’s technological development, although the timeline indicates a gradual implementation, with the full impact of 5G expected to be felt later in the decade.
