Sažetak
The objective of this paper is to discuss and submit the advantages of applying the railway transport mode to the recently planned Adriatic-Ionian traffic corridor within Stability Pact for South East Europe in CEI region connecting Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece. The Adriatic-Ionian traffic corridor (CEI-AI) should have to be a significant cross link from PAN-European Adriatic-Ionian transport area (PETRA-AI) to PAN- European corridors V, VIII and X and its branches, ensuring at the same time an optimal connection between Adriatic-Ionian sea ports and Central and East Europe and Asia regions. Being aware of the significant impact of traffic on the environment, human health and energy consumption and taking into account enormous investments for corridor completion, transport efficiency and its external costs, rail and road kind of transport referring to all the relevant parameters have to be urgently considered. In this respect, it seems logical to suggest the establishment of a joint CEI agency in terms of provisioning an optimal transport solution for this CEI traffic corridor.
