KRAGUJEVAC, Serbia (AA) - Kragujevac, one of Serbia's largest cities, has adopted a transportation system developed by a Turkish company.

The system was developed by Kentkart Ege Elektronik, a firm which offers smart solutions for public transport.

It includes a mobile aplication which is used to track transportation via GPS, digital tickets and information screens in the vehicles.

The system was inaugurated on Wednesday by Mayor Radomir Nikolic, Turkey's ambassador in Belgrade Tanju Bilgic, and company officials.

Bilgic said that it was a great pleasure to see Turkey's urban transport system card being used in Serbia.

"We are aiming to increase Turkish investments in Kragujevac," said Bilgic.

Nikolic emphasized that the city has the most modern transportation system in the region.

"The new cards will also include museums, galleries and pool entrances in the near future," said Nikolic.

Bilgic and Nikolic later held a business meeting to discuss ways to improve cooperation in various fields.

The firm previously implemented the same system in Serbia's capital Belgrade.
