Romania was included in VIA CARPATIA
Transports ministry representatives across seven European countries, including Romania, signed on Friday, at Lancut,Poland the declaration VIA CARPATIA, which sees the expansion of the shortest road linking Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece.
The signing of the Via Carpatica Declaration is one more important step in the development of the transport connections among the EU member states, in the current context of the policy of revision of the Trans-European TEN-T networks, Romania's Transport and Infrastructure Minister Anca Boagiu stressed in her message to the Conference.
'I think that a not at all insignificant aspect is that the Via Carpatica Project's future development requires the joint moves and actions by the involved parties, which are to commonly promote the project in the TEN-T central network, and find new inter-connections between the Via Carpatica and priority transport projects by European and Asian countries,' Minister Boagiu's address said.
Through signing the Declaration, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece agreed on Romania's proposals on the two directions of the route on Romania's territory, the first towards Constanta Black Sea port, where a direct speed road is to link the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, and the second toward the border between Romania and Bulgaria, the future road and railway bridge crossing the Danube from Calafat (Romania) to Vidin (Bulgaria), and the Via Carpatica project may continue towards the southern border of the European Union.
State Secretary Eusebiu Pistru represented the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure in the Conference in Lancut.
