Bulgaria and North Macedonia reaffirm their commitment to the Corridor VIII railway link
Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia have taken an important step toward improving transport links between the two countries. Representatives of both sides reaffirmed their commitment to the European Commission regarding the construction of the railway line along Corridor VIII.
During a meeting of the Joint Committee, an official document containing procedural rules for future work was adopted. This document is key, as it defines the manner in which the two sides will cooperate during the construction activities.
In addition to the rules, the committee also approved a preliminary indicative schedule. It includes specific stages for the preparation and the actual construction of the railway facility, which is intended to connect the two neighboring countries through modern infrastructure.
Corridor VIII is of great importance to the region, as it will facilitate the movement of people and goods between the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea. The project is being closely monitored by the European Union, which supports the development of the transport network in the Balkans.
It is expected that the implementation of this schedule will contribute to better economic connectivity and easier travel in the region. Both countries will continue to work in coordination to ensure that construction proceeds according to the planned deadlines.
