May 17 (SeeNews) - The European Commission said it has signed agreements with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia that set the groundwork to integrate the countries into the EU's trans-European transport network (TEN-T).
The agreements will improve transport connectivity between the EU and the Western Balkan countries, the EU executive said in a press release on Tuesday.
The integration of the Western Balkans’ transport networks into the TEN-T will also help prepare EU candidate countries as well as potential candidates for their future accession to the EU, the Commission said.
TEN-T is a network of railway lines, roads, ports and inland waterways connecting EU towns and cities.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are all candidates for EU accession.
