The Pan-European Corridor 8 will create a key link between Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Albania, between the citizens and businesses of the three countries, Bulgaria's caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev said. Premier Donev and North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski took part in a ceremony at the Supli Kamen locality near the town of Kumanovo, North Macedonia, that marks the start of the construction of the eastern section, Kumanovo-Beljakovce-Kriva Palanka, of the Rail Corridor 8. The railway line connecting Italy with the three Balkan countries will bring greater added value for the entire region, said Premier Galab Donev. The project also envisages the construction of a motorway to Bulgaria.

For his part, Dimitar Kovacevski said that the project was another step towards his country's European future. He emphasized the importance of Corridor 8 for the development of the economy and ecology.
