FTA: The government of North Macedonia is committed to the construction of the railway connecting Bulgaria

The Government of North Macedonia is strongly committed to the construction of a new railway network in the country and guided by the overall economic development and regional connectivity, and in the spirit of the European integration process and the need for the modernization and completion of the European transport corridors. , we remain fully committed to the construction of the eastern part of the 8th railway corridor, announced the Ministry of Transport and Communications of North Macedonia.

"This is actually evidenced by the ongoing construction process of the first and second phase of the Corridor 8 railway line. This was the firm position of the Macedonian delegation consisting of the director of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Sinisha Ivanovski and the state secretary in the Ministry of Transport, Stefan Volkanovski, who with the mediation of the "European Union" yesterday in Brussels held a working meeting with representatives of the Bulgarian government led by the Deputy Minister of Transport, during which the railway connection between the two countries was discussed. ", the statement says.

As they say from there, Macedonia does not give up the railway connection with Bulgaria, but it cannot accept the realization of a project that ends in a tunnel for which there is no project in Bulgaria, nor is there assurance from the Bulgarian side that activities are being undertaken for the railway connection.
