We need better transport and logistics. We need more capacity to move large volumes of goods. We need to move faster with the modernization of our roads and railways. We need military mobility that improves our defense capability. We need more storage facilities, more renewables, development of region’s critical minerals, stronger trade links and stronger manufacturing cooperation. We need to build more interconnectors between our energy systems. And of course we need to bring much more investment into the Carpathian region, which is a natural European gateway for routes coming from the South Caucasus and Asia through the Black Sea. These routes are active today, and they will remain active in the future.
