Several major transport infrastructure projects in Bulgaria - including the expansion of the SofiaMetro to Sofia International Airport - will be funded with EU money from Operational Program Transport, the government announced. Two of the other major projects include the rehabilitation of the Central Railway Station in Sofia and the construction of an intermodal transport terminal in Plovdiv, said Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski.
The Committee decided to transfer EUR 110 mln from Priority Axis 4 for improvement for navigation to Priority Axis 3 for improvement of intermodality of passenger and freight transport. The funds in question were supposed to be used to expand the Danube waterway in a problematic spot between the islands of Batin and Belene.
However, Bulgaria and Romania have signed a joint declaration deciding to put off the Danube navigation improvement project in question for the next programming period (2014-2020), while still continuing to work on preliminary surveys
