AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoPrespa Crossing: Work on Greece’s side of the new Greece–North Macedonia border crossing is underway. The €7.5 million project aims to restore a route closed since 1967 and boost tourism and business, though better roads and visitor services will be needed to turn extra traffic into lasting gains. Rail Links: North Macedonia has tendered construction of the railway corridor to Bulgaria, backed by a €149 million EU grant. A continuous cross-border connection is unlikely before the early 2030s, with funding and a tunnel still unresolved. Road Infrastructure: A Strabag-led consortium won a €219 million contract for an 11.5-kilometre section of the E65 motorway, part of Corridor VIII. Construction is expected to take four years. Trade and Technology: The UK added North Macedonia to an expanded export licence covering some dual-use technologies, including specified aviation, maritime, IT, semiconductor and quantum-related items.
