The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Dimas<\/b> had a working meeting<\/b> today with the European <\/b>Coordinator of the Corridor Western Balkans-Eastern Mediterranean<\/b> (WBEM), Marian-Jan Marinescu.<\/p>\n
The meeting took place in the context of the latter’s visit to the countries participating in the Corridor<\/b>, in view of the finalisation of the Action Plan for the completion of the relevant action plan. <\/p>\n
The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport called the Western Balkans-Eastern Mediterranean Corridor<\/b> one of the most strategic new European corridors<\/b>, which serves as a instrument of cohesion, enlargement and geo-economic stability<\/b> in the wider Western Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n
It is essentially, he stressed. Dimas<\/b>, it is essentially the most coherent southern axis connecting Central and Eastern Europe<\/b>, with the potential to become the most competitive multimodal corridor<\/b>, due to its shorter geographical distance to Central Europe and its significant development potential in the intermodality and logistics hubs<\/b> sectors.<\/p>\n
He suggested that the Western Balkans-Eastern Mediterranean Corridor<\/b> should not be seen as just another transport corridor, but as a key European geo-economic axis<\/b>, with the potential to be linked to international networks such as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and the European Coordinator agreed that a clear and collective focus on the actual implementation of infrastructure projects and the strengthening of their financial coverage<\/b> is now required, as geopolitical and geo-economic developments require Member States and European institutions to focus more decisively on tangible results and actual implementation on the ground.<\/p>\n
Finally, this is what will create substantial added value for citizens and prove the practical benefit of European investments<\/b>, he said, stressing that the implementation of policies that will bring about the necessary breakthrough to enhance the competitiveness of our European economy is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
