Dear Visitors,
Over the years, the Western Balkans and Transport Community have experienced significant progress since the operational launch of the Permanent Secretariat of the Transport Community. We grew as an organisation and played a crucial role in assisting our regional partners in the Western Balkans and observing participants – Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine in achieving their goals of transport integration into the European Union.
Together with our partners and relevant authorities, we have jointly developed comprehensive sets of guiding documents and action plans to support regional partners and observing participants in fulfilling their commitments under the Transport Community Treaty.
These are the Five-year Rolling Work Plan for Development of Indicative TEN-T extension of Comprehensive and Core Network in Western Balkans, reports on the state of the TEN-T network in the Western Balkans and reports on Action Plans and Acquis Implementation. The Secretariat has introduced digital tools to support these deliverables, such as the Western Balkan Road Safety Observatory and the Western Balkan Transport Observatory.
In facilitating faster border crossings, we have made significant progress on the extension of Green Lanes to the Western Balkans and the establishment of Green Lanes between European Union member states and regional partners.
With the revision of the TEN-T network, we are working on operationalisation of the Western Balkans-Eastern Mediterranean European Transport Corridor which integrates the entire region with neighbouring European Union member states.
The time ahead of us will be marked by the establishment of stronger connections among policy reforms and infrastructure projects. This shall be delivered by our joint and close work with the European Commission, EU member states, the Western Balkans, as well as the observing participants.
The success of the Transport Community depends on our collective effort to implement policy changes and provide connectivity projects that benefit the citizens of the region. Maintaining a strong sense of community within the Transport Community will remain critical to the region’s advancement towards European Union integration in transport policy and accession process.
This website serves as a hub for information on our activities, projects, and events. Whether you are a policymaker, transport professional, or an interested citizen, I invite you to explore our work and join us in shaping a more connected and resilient transport network.
We move forward #TogetherConnected.
Sincerely,
Matej Zakonjšek
Director
Permanent Secretariat of the Transport Community
