Only 2 kilometers remain to be built on the Bulgarian side of the railway corridor known as Corridor No. 8, which is intended to connect the Adriatic Sea with the Black Sea through Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ivan Kondov announced at a conference dedicated to foreign policy, defense and the defense industry.

''On our side, there are about 2 kilometers left, which can be built very quickly. The entire remaining part of the corridor on Bulgarian territory is complete, while there are 23 kilometers on the side of North Macedonia, which are not ready at all. In my opinion, we are facing a strong unwillingness of a NATO member state to do something that is in NATO’s interest", Ivan Kondov commented. The information is by BNR’s reporter Dobromir Videv.
