Romania’s Transport Ministry wants to begin projects worth about EUR 3 billion this year, transport minister Răzvan Cuc said at the end of the informal meeting of the ministers of transport held in Bucharest on March 28.

Among the projects he listed are the railway link between the central station and the airport in Bucharest and the 6th Line of the Bucharest subway network - for which the design and execution contract for the first six stations has been signed, local Mediafax reported.

“We will launch the other six stations in the next period in partnership with JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), who have extended us a loan for this objective,” the minister said.

The Informal Meeting of Transport Ministers in EU took place in Bucharest on March 26 and 27, 2019, in the context of Romania's presidency of the EU Council.
