The Prime Minister reiterated her call to other countries in the region to join this project, saying that the new border crossing with Hungary Rabe-Kubekhaza would contribute to reducing the retention of goods trucks at the crossings.
According to Brnabic, the plan is to expand the border crossing at Horgos, as well as additional activities related to the flow of goods at the border crossings with Croatia.
Cadez stressed the need for better cooperation in the region, as well as an agreement with all countries not to keep trucks at borders.
He assessed that the whole region should work together towards the external borders, that is, the EU borders, and to put in place measures that will help to flow more and better the goods abroad.
