The transport ministers of Bulgaria and Greece, Petar Mutafchiev and Evripidis Styalianis, signed a trans-border agreement in Komotini, Greece on March 12, whereby there two new train stations will be built on the Bulgarian-Greek border.
On the Kulata-Promahon pass, the station of Kulata will be built, whereas at the Svilengrad–Dikeia border checkpoint, the Dikeia station will be built.
Those two train stations are meant to ease traffic and freight passage across the border between both countries.
Just days before the agreement was signed with Greek officials, Mutafchiev inaugurated the new train stations in Haskovo and Kremen, the latter near Sliven, in which the National Railroad Infrastructure Agency invested 580 000 leva.
Greece and Bulgaria are aiming to improve cross-border transport, in particular hoping to increase the potential of existing railway transport infrastructure.
The document, signed on March 12, aims to facilitate the establishment of common border railway stations on both sides of Bulgarian and Greek frontier, which will ease the procession of passengers and freight between Greece and Bulgaria along the railway infrastructure.
The improvements also aim to reduce the time spent at cross border points and to ensure that, in the future, there will be no more bottlenecks along the border caused by blockades.
The agreement was signed in 2006 in Athens by the transport ministers of all nations involved in the international project - Albania, Macedonia, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, Moldova, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia, with Bulgaria eventually confirming the treaty in April 2009.
