Introduction
This list is based on the timetable in force from 13 December 2020 until 10 July 2021. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series - The Balkans) by M.G. Ball.
SŽ no longer publish a full paper timetable and the online pdfs do not use the same timetable numbers, instead numbering them 1 to 18. The on-line timetable numbers are therefore used in the entries below.
