The unsuccessful, decades-long attempted construction of the new central railway station of Belgrade was hampered by a lack of funding to finish adjoining 14 km of tunnels, several railway bridges including the New Railroad Bridge across the Sava river, a new road network connecting to the city and technical installations. Due to the countless setbacks in the period of several decades, construction of the new station has been called "Skadar na Bojani", after the folk epic poem "The Building of Skadar", where the town of Skadar was unsuccessfully built for a long time. The entire construction process has been described as infamous, where deadlines were continuously falling one after another.
