On 16th May 2023, the European Commission (EC) signed high-level agreements with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia and Serbia. These agreements adapt the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) connecting European Union (EU) cities by linking them to the Western Balkans. The Transport Community, which brings together the EU Member States and the Western Balkan partners, actively supports the implementation of projects connecting these countries to each other and to the EU. According to the EC, the integration of transport networks into TEN-T will also help prepare EU accession countries and potential candidate countries for their future accession to the EU.
