The plan to update the transport network of Belarus fits within a special program of the Eastern Partnership.
The plan is part of a common trans-European project (TEN-T) with a budget of about € 13 billion and provides for the modernization of 4,800 km of roads, 6 ports and 11 logistics centers in the Eastern Partnership countries. The money for the project will be provided by the EU and the World Bank.
“The plan will help decision makers to prioritize strategic investments in transport infrastructure,” said Johannes Hahn, a member of the European Commission in the European Neighborhood Policy and EU enlargement negotiations.
The plan for Belarus includes 10 projects with a total investment of more than € 1 billion.
