The Bulgarian Deputy Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications Parvan Rusinov opened the third SEETAC project meeting, which  took place on 27-28th April 2010. It had been organized by the Bulgarian Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications, in cooperation with the Project Lead Partner - the Central European Initiative (CEI).

During the last year, the European Commission initiated an extensive review process of the trans-European transport network policy (TEN-T). Through that process the objectives and options for the future TEN-T development should be set in a way to enable further economic growth, economic and social cohesion, as well as the strengthening of Europe's international role. The Commission foresees, as a major legislative proposal to follow, a revision of the TEN-T Guidelines.

Following the Eastern Balkan countries' entry in the framework of the Wider Europe strategy and in the light of a Treaty for the establishment of a Transport Community in the Western Balkans, the Commission is supporting  the study for the definition of a general Transport Plan and of SEETO Observatory.
