Bulgaria’s Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications Ivaylo Moscovski and Macedonia’s Minister of Transport and Communications Goran Sugareski signed in Skopje a memorandum of understanding aimed at developing railway links between Sofia and Skopje. The document will be used in the future collaboration related to the construction of a railway link between the capitals of Bulgaria and Macedonia. Bulgaria promised to build by 2027 a railway line connecting Sofia and the Bulgaria-Macedonia border. Macedonia voiced commitment to build a railway line connecting Skopje and the Macedonia-Bulgaria border by 2025. The Transport Corridor № 8 is vital for the integration of the Western Balkans and we are to look for targeted funding, Minister Moscovski pointed out.
