GREECE, BULGARIA AND ROMANIA SIGN MOU TO ADVANCE REGIONAL TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY
On 3 December, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen cross-border cooperation on transport infrastructure. The initiative aims to improve mobility, facilitate trade flows and support economic cohesion and security across the region.
The MoU reflects the three Member States’ shared commitment to accelerating the modernisation and interoperability of key rail, road and inland waterway links. As part of the agreement, the countries established the Black Sea–Aegean Sea Corridor Platform (BACP), bringing together the Ministers of Transport to provide strategic guidance and political coordination.
At the same time, the MoU sets out a framework for continued cooperation in the coming years, including regular political and technical coordination, information exchange on national investment plans and joint efforts to accelerate priority projects of European relevance within the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).
Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tzitzikostas welcomed the agreement, noting that enhanced cooperation will strengthen connectivity for businesses while bolstering Europe’s security, competitiveness and resilience across the Aegean, the Black Sea and the Danube.
