Serbian Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic has personally acknowledged that Aleksandar Vucic was involved in stopping the construction of Corridor 8, which would connect the Black Sea with the Adriatic Sea, Bulgarian media report.
"The European Union forced the corridor from Bulgaria to Albania, as well as from Romania to Greece. We have prevented this dark scenario for Serbia by the decision of Aleksandar Vucic to start investing in the Corridor 10 rail line," Vesic said.
According to him, "Serbia must fight to be a central country through which all railway lines pass."
The first decision of the Macedonian government was to stop the construction of Corridor 8. Mitkoski's right-hand man, Aleksandar Nikoloski, even tried to redirect european funds provided for this transport corridor to Corridor 10.
