Commission signs high-level agreements with Western Balkans to improve transport links

On 16 May 2023, the Commission signed high-level agreements with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. The agreements adapt the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), the EU’s network of railway lines, roads, ports and inland waterways connecting EU towns and cities, by linking it to the Western Balkans. This is a major step towards greater transport connectivity between the European Union and our Western Balkan partners. 

The Transport Community, which brings together the EU Member States represented by the  Commission and the Western Balkan partners, actively supports the execution of projects connecting the six countries with each other, and with the EU. 

The integration of the Western Balkan transport networks into the TEN-T will also help prepare EU candidate countries and potential candidates for their future accession to the EU.
