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.
