Designing road projects involves a complex decision-making process whose objectives should be the implementation of the road design and its utilization in the narrowest sense, but also the facilitation of mobility, economic development of the area and improvement of the quality of life in a wider sense. All of this requires the consideration and understanding of many problems of a multi-criterial nature, . The main goal of this paper is to use a real example to explain the role and significance of multi-criteria evaluation methods. The theoretical steps of multi-criteria evaluation are presented (the AHP method). Using multi-criteria evaluation method ranking was carried out of the alternative solutions offered for the E-763 highway route Belgrade - South Adriatic (Požega – Boljare section). Ranking was carried out on the basis of 12 criteria . The calculation was performed by using the software package Expert Choice 2000 and an analysis of the results obtained was carried out.
