, it continues eastwards, along the towns of Sremska Mitrovica
, Ruma
and Stara Pazova
. Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport lies on the southern side of the highway. Few kilometers on the east, the major Dobanovci
interchange is located. Currently, it only branches southwards, across the Ostružnica bridge towards the Ibarska highway, but after completion of the Belgrade beltway it will link E70 with the northern and southern branches of E75 (Subotica–Belgrade–Niš), allowing transit traffic to bypass Belgrade. The highway enters the New Belgrade and Zemun
outskirts, and merges with E75 into the "Belgrade highway" running through the city. It crosses the Sava river at the Gazela bridge

interchange, continuing in northeast direction through Belgrade streets. At the Pančevo bridge
it crosses the Danube. Magistral road M24-1 to Zrenjanin
separates northwards immediately after the bridge, and E75 continues to Pančevo as a 4-lane dual carriageway. Through the city center, or through the bypass leading through the industrial zone, the road continues towards Banatsko Novo Selo
and Banatski Karlovac
to Vršac
. It crosses to Romania at the Vatin
border crossing, continuing further north towards Timişoara
.
This part of the road is toll-free single carriageway. Its future upgrading to a full-profile highway is uncertain, as the Serbia's infrastructure priorities lie along the Pan-European corridor X, and completion of the Belgrade–Požega highway (part of future Belgrade–Bar motorway
).
