By signing the document, prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the technical, financial, legal and organizational issues related to the construction of the tunnel will be agreed upon, ensuring compliance with the European and national legislation of both countries. The Bulgarian side is ready to begin negotiations with North Macedonia on the proposed texts as soon as possible.
