Within the frameworks of the Conference, Minister Hristo Alexiev had bilateral meetings with the European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc. Minister Alexiev presented the investments in the transport, which will be realized with Horizon until 2022.

Hristo Alexiev gave an example with the Burgas-Alexandroupolis Project and explained about the good collaboration with the Greek state and that common activities on the issue will be shortly undertaken.
