Transport Connectivity Forum

Improving the connectivity within the Western Balkan region as well as between the Western Balkans and the European Union is a key factor in the process of enhancing competitiveness of the region and further advancement of growth and employment. Current trends of regional and economic integration bring about numerous changes in all segments of everyday life. Transport integration of the region is one of key priorities of the enlargement policy, evidenced by the fact that by 2020 the European Commission will allocate grants amounting up to a billion euro for the co-financing of infrastructure transport projects in the region.

Transport, in a time of intensive globalization, is a basis of all economic activities and a pre-condition for the quality of life of citizens. Continuous engagement in the resolution of transport related issues at all decision-making levels should ensure efficient business activities, the quality of transport and logistics services with the aim of accelerating economic growth and development.
