The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport of Greece, Christos Staikouras, initiated a railway connection between Greece, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Romania to connect with Ukraine.
According to the report, during the summit in Varna (Bulgaria) on October 9, the Greek minister proposed the launch of a railway to diversify trade relations between Mediterranean ports and Ukraine. The Greek government proposes that trains go to the Greek ports of Alexandroupolis and Thessaloniki from the ports of Ruse in Bulgaria and Constanta in Romania, with connections to Moldova and, potentially, Ukraine.
This project could provide an alternative option in trade relations between states, strengthening transport connections and international cargo transportation. The Minister of Transport of Greece has already sent a corresponding letter of intent to the European Commission, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Romania.
