“Bulgaria’s transport network still leaves a lot to be desired,” said President Rumen Radev in a public lecture at the Todor Kableshkov Higher School of Transport on the occasion of its centennial’s jubilee. “Our rail transport has, in recent decades, been dying out. It took the green deal for us to realize it is the transport of the future. We need to make up for lost time, and quickly, and develop the rail network,” Rumen Radev said.

There are small airports everywhere in the world, light aviation is thriving, though here that is not so. If we want the corridors from the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf to pass across Bulgaria, we need to invest much more in our ports, the President added.
