The ports in Vidin, Ruse and Burgas to become part of the core transport network of Europe

“The ports in Vidin, Ruse and Burgas are included in the project for the core transport network in Europe,” said Georgi Genchev, Director General of the state -owned Bulgarian Ports Infrastructure Company yesterday in Varna.

This means that they will become major logistics and transport hubs of Europe. The construction of the road and rail infrastructure connecting the hubs from the core network will be a priority. This means that if a country has a request for funding the transport hubs infrastructure, EU countries have assumed the commitment to secure the money.

Currently, leasing under concession is the only option for the implementation of public-private partnership in Bulgaria. Other countries have various and more flexible management tools. Proposals for new management instruments are expected to be submitted after the adoption of the new legislation.

“Other ports in the country, like the one in Varna, will be included in the broader transport network. Future maritime highways will be mapped after the adoption of the final version of the transport system. This will happen within a few months and no later than the end of the year,” explained Genchev. The drafted core transport network of Europe is expected to cover the entire continent, providing a maximum load of waterways at the expense of road transportation.
