There is, however, the need to also invest in a more fine-meshed regional network<br />

in the <strong>Balkans</strong>. Therefore, the "<strong>Transport</strong> and Energy <strong>Infrastructure</strong> in<br />

South East Europe" (European Commission, 15 October 2001) defined the strategic<br />

transport networks in the region on which investment projects for interurban<br />

transport should mainly concentrate. The networks cover the main road and<br />

rail routes, inland waterways and river ports, seaports, airports and terminals.<br />

The strategic networks were presented at a conference in Tirana in May 2001 in<br />

the IFI's and other donors participated. The networks were endorsed at a<br />

conference in Bucharest in October 2001.<br />
