Adequate transport provision is a pre-requisite for sound economic development. This is possible only when there is joint strategic transport planning process and close cooperation between the national authorities, and involvement of the market stakeholders. All stakeholders involved in transportation can expect to benefit from the upon common East BSR transport system development. The joint action plan must highlight the areas and components of the transport system which are important for the effective interconnectivity of the individual networks, and/or for absorbing the steadily increasing intraregional and transcon tinental freight flows. New transport patterns will emerge, according to which larger volumes of freight must be carried jointly to their destination by the most efficient combination of transport modes.
