ABSTRACT: By encouraging the development of trans-European transport network and intermodal transport, the European Union aims to achieve the integration of different modes of transport in one supply chain to optimize all modes of transport used, and reduce traffic congestion. With the new European network infrastructure policies fragmented European roads, railways, airports and existing river channel will be converted into a trans-European transport network (Trans-European Transport Network "TEN-T"). The new policy of the European Union for the first time establishes a basic transport network is based on nine major corridors: two North - South corridors, the three East- Western corridorand four diagonal corridor. TEN-T network will dramatically change the transport links between East and West, remove bottlenecks, improve transport infrastructure and streamline cross-border transport of passengers and goods. Unique trans- European transport network is improving connections between different modes of transport and contribute to the development of intermodal transport. In the transport sector, the European Union has continued its policy of cooperation with the countries of South Eastern Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia), geo-strategic position in a number of transport corridors makes this particularly important area for the creation of a single European traffic area.
SAŽETAK: Promovisanjem razvoja jedinstvene transevropske transportne mreže i intermodalnog transporta Evropska unija nastoji ostvariti integraciju različitih vidova transporta u jedinstvene logističke lance kako bi se svi vidovi transporta optimalno koristili, te kako bi se smanjili transportni zastoji. Novom evropskom infrastrukturnom politikom postojeća rascjepkana mreža evropskih puteva, željeznica, vazdušnih luka i riječnih kanala bit će pretvorena u jedinstvenu transeuropsku prometnu mrežu (TRANS-EUROPEAN TRANSPORT NETWORK „TEN-T“). Ovom novom politikom Evropska unija po prvi put utvrđuje osnovnu transportnu mrežu utemeljenu na devet glavnih koridora: dva koridora sjever – jug, tri koridora istok – zapad i četiri dijagonalna koridora. TEN-T mreža bitno će izmijeniti transportne veze između Istoka i Zapada, ukloniti uska grla, poboljšati transportnu infrastrukturu te pojednostaviti prekogranični prijevoz putnika i robe. Jedinstvena transevropska prometna mreža poboljšava veze različitih vidova transporta i doprinosi razvoju intermodalnog transporta. U transportnom sektoru Evropska unija nastavlja s politikom saradnje s državama Jugoistočne Evrope (Albanija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Crna Gora, Kosovo, Bivša Jugoslovenska Republika Makedonija i Srbija), čiji geo-strateški položaj na nekoliko transportnih koridora čini ovo područje posebno važnim za stvaranje jedinstvenog evropskog transportnog prostora.
