!" # $ $ $%& The European Union plays a key role in repairing the damage of conflict in the Balkan region and equipping the countries of the region to promote economic development and regional integration. The development of the transport infrastructure is an important element in this context. In 2002 the EU Commission launched the Regional Balkans Infrastructure Study, Transport - in the following referred to as REBIS. The project commenced by the end of June 2002 and was executed over a period of 13 calendar months. The study covers the five Balkan countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYRO Macedonia), and Serbia and Montenegro (Republic of Serbia, Kosovo, Republic of Montenegro). In the following, Kosovo - being under international administration in line with UNSCR 1244 of 10 June 1999 - will be referred to separately. Project scope The project focuses on assisting countries of the region to develop coherent strategies for transport infrastructure development. The objectives of the project are to: • assess the strategic transport networks - the Core Network - of the region and suggest modifications • establish short-term investment plans for priority projects, suitable for international financing • establish a methodology and procedures to monitor implementation of the Core Network • define a list of medium and long term projects, suitable for international financing • identify suitable local counterpart institutions and provide training • outline the organisational structure of an Agency for Transport Matters • provide guidance for the realisation of national transport plans and for feasibility studies In addition the project includes the examination of some specific aspects of the transport sector in the region, i.e.: • the market and financial situation of railway companies • the containerisation market • review of road charges and recommendations for their harmonisation 16

Task 1: Mobilisation and review Task 2: Forecasting Task 3: Network assessment Task 4: Methods of investment planning Task 5: Short-term investment plan Task 6: Project monitoring Task 7: Medium and long-term investment plan Task 8: Terms of Reference for "SEETO" (transport observatory) Task 9: Seminars and dissemination Task 10: Training Special topic 1: Road charges Special topic 2: Analysis of railway companies Special topic 3: Perspectives for BOT projects Special topic 4: Containerisation study Special topic 5: Infrastructure management systems During the implementation of the project, some additional tasks were defined, i.a. the establishment of the long-term investment requirements to raise the standards of the core road and rail networks, a brief study of the Sava river - based on existing information, and the presentation of an overview of the reform process - based on statements by the countries. Involvement of stakeholders The project was managed from the home office of the consultants, in close liaison with EuropeAid who is the contracting authority for the project. The development of regional transport strategies and the preparation for infrastructure investment clearly called for strong involvement of key stakeholders, including national authorities of the region and international institutions involved in the financing of transport projects. In order to ensure close liaison with national authorities the REBIS consultant established permanent offices in the five capitals of the region, each of which was staffed with an international Resident Economist and with local counterparts. In all countries the consultant's team included substantial local expertise. In order to ensure the appropriate involvement of the IFIs (International Financing Institutions) and the relevant General Directorates of the EU Commission, the project was supervised by the Infrastructure Steering Group (ISG) which is chaired by the European Commission (EuropeAid) and includes representatives from various parts of the Commission (DG TREN and DG 17
