At the heart of the tripartite meeting of Greece – Romania, in Sofia, Bulgaria, was the development of a multimodal transport corridor. Today (14.3.2024) was attended by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Christos Staikouras, as well. It is said that the corridor to be formed will start at the port of Alexandroupolis and end up at those of the Black Sea and the commercial roads of the Danube, through Bulgaria. In this context, the signing of the relevant Memorandum of Understanding by the Ministers of the three countries will soon follow. Today’s meeting is a continuation of the Tripartite Summit of Greece – Bulgaria – Romania and its decisions, attended in October 2023 and by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, accompanying Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in Varna, Bulgaria. Practically, the development of the multimodal corridor will give Alexandroupoli a key role for supply chain and international trade. Emphasis is placed on cross-border rail links and road links, which, despite being more maturity and growth, in fact need to be improved, in order to remain open in the future and to promote the coherence of transport instruments. As important as the connection of Alexandroupolis by rail to Bulgaria, via Ormenio and/or Thessaloniki, through Promachona, the importance of road interconnection through Nymphaia and the exploitation of the possibilities for interconnection with inland waterways (Dunave). Through the Tripartite Cooperation with Bulgaria and Romania, as well as our participation in the new European Corridor “Baltic Sea – Black Sea – Aegean Sea”, our country is associated with the neighbouring countries Bulgaria and Romania, Central Europe, Moldova and Ukraine.
