Event shares initiatives to support connectivity and transport in the Western Balkans
On 27 May, a joint virtual event was hosted by the EU-funded Technical Assistance to Connectivity in the Western Balkans (CONNECTA) and the Transport Community Permanent Secretariat to share their objectives, strategic approach and expected results. The event brought together representatives of the Western Balkans, EU Delegations and international financial institutions.
CONNECTA has recently started three regional sub-projects offering technical assistance. One focuses on the deployment of smart and sustainable mobility in the Western Balkans. A second supports the preparation of technical documentation for modernisation and infrastructure capacity improvements of selected road border crossing points on the extended Trans-European Network for Transport (TEN-T) in the Western Balkans. The third helps with the preparation of national Intelligent Transport Systems strategies for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Montenegro, and the deployment of road traffic management centres in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo.
CONNECTA is an EU-funded technical assistance contract whose overall objective is to assist in the development and completion of the core transport and energy networks in the Western Balkans region and to support the Digital Agenda for the Western Balkans in line with the Western Balkans strategy.
