THE AREA EXPERIENCES POOR ACCESSIBILITY AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY TRANSPORT SYSTEMS WITH LOW INTEROPERABILITY, THUS NEGATIVELY AFFECTING INTRA AND INTERREGIONAL CONNECTIVITY. THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO ESTABLISH A LONG-TERM ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP AMONG THE RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS, VIA MULTIMODAL INLAND WATER AND MARITIME TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY AND TO FACILITATE AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE CROSS BORDER COOPERATION IN THE PROJECT AREA.THE FORESEEN ACTIONS WILL PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE CROSS BORDER TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS (CBTC) OVER THE PROJECT AREA, BY OPTIMIZING THE EXISTING ONES, STRENGTHENING MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL SKILLS, ENSURING SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES.
