On 3-4 February, the SEETAC's First Ministerial

and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of Romania.
High-level representatives from Albania, Austria, Croatia,
Hungary, Greece, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Italy,
Romania, Serbia and Slovakia took part in the Conference, covering
almost all representatives of the participating countries of the
SEETAC Project.
Each country presented the current state - of - the - art in
terms of country priorities, shared information on financing needs
and opportunities as well as expectations vis-à-vis the SEETAC
Project. It was an opportunity to present and discuss transport
issues at high political level and facilitate dialogue among
SEETAC participating countries.
