This corridor initiative is not only a conduit for the transportation of products from Italy's Friuli Venezia Giulia region, vital for Serbia's ongoing civil construction projects. Besides bolstering bilateral trade, the corridor emerges as an alternative route, adeptly sidestepping the war-affected zones in Ukraine, as highlighted by Cristina Amirante, the regional councillor for Infrastructure and Territory.
“The launch of new rail connections between the Cervignano del Friuli Interport and Serbia opens a new door to our region regarding its ability to be a strategic logistics hub in Europe. The Italian-Serbian corridor will have positive repercussions both in trade relations with Eastern Europe and in the efficiency of goods transport, giving the possibility of avoiding the passage through Ukraine which is currently at war. An important experiment, in concert with a country with which the production companies located in Friuli Venezia Giulia already have important exchange relationships, in particular in the export of the manufacturing sector,” commented Cristina Amirante.

With Serbia expressing keen interest in joining the European Union, such infrastructural advancements underscore the fostering of closer European ties and collaborations.
