Figure 8: Balkan X th corridor and its potential alternatives
From the figure above it is clear that the X th Corridor has 2 competitive routes. In the conclusion of this
article the main findings of the X th Paneuroepan Corridor and competitive routes are listed.
5. CONCLUSION
The X th Paneuropean Corridor, which is running through Salzburg-Jesenice-Ljubljana-Dobova-Zagreb-
Tovarnik-Beograd-Skopje-Thessaloniki/Solun:
- is for approximately 100km shorter than the competitive corridor
- has shorten the traveling time for approximately 12%
- attracts approximately 12% more goods transport, in case of modernization even 50% more
goods
- uses approximately 12% less energy and reduces the CO 2 emissions for approximately 12%.
Through the stabilization of the political situation in the Balkans and by entering of the eastern part of
the Balkans into the European Community the railway market will be liberalized also in this part of
Europe. This will enable easier performance of interoperability, which is a precondition for ensuring
competitiveness of the X th Corridor.
