Private-sector interest is welcome momentum for railway development in the 🚆

Today in Belgrade, our Director Tālis Linkaits met Peter Kiss, CEO of METRANS, a.s., and Ivana Plavšić, Director of METRANS Panonija, to discuss rail freight development and shifting more goods from road to rail.

Regional cooperation also means managing common resources together 🤝

Today in Brussels, our Budget Committee held its 13th meeting, bringing together representatives of our regional partners, the European Commission and the Secretariat to review how we have worked in 2025 and 2026, and to look ahead to 2027.

Members discussed:
