Brussels, December 5, 2025 — Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania have joined forces to establish the Black Sea–Aegean Sea Corridor Platform (BACP), a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing transport and trade connectivity across Southeastern Europe. The announcement was made during a signing ceremony in Brussels, in cooperation with the European Commission.
The new corridor will link Thessaloniki and Alexandroupoli in Greece to key points in Bulgaria, ultimately reaching Bucharest in Romania. Designed as a multimodal transport route, the corridor will integrate road, rail, and potentially inland-waterway infrastructure, enabling more efficient movement of goods, people, and services.
Officials described the corridor as “one of the most strategic north–south axes” in the region, with the potential to strengthen economic ties, tourism, and supply-chain resilience. The initiative aligns with broader EU transport priorities and is expected to improve travel times, facilitate trade, and enhance cross-border cooperation.
The three countries plan to present a detailed joint action plan in 2026, outlining routes, financing strategies, and technical requirements. Investments are expected in road and rail upgrades, port improvements, and logistical hubs to ensure the corridor supports both commercial and civilian transport, as well as strategic mobility needs.
The platform represents a significant step toward regional integration, offering long-term economic and strategic benefits for Southeastern Europe.
