April 17, 2024

Ministers from Greece, Bulgaria and Romania held a working meeting in Sofia on Thursday to discuss the development of a transport corridor which will start from the port of Alexandroupolis and end in ports of the Black Sea and the trade routes of the Danube, through Bulgarian https://www.ekathimerini.com/ reports.   In practical terms, the corridor will give Alexandroupolis a pivotal role in the supply chain and international trade.
