CORRIDOR <strong>10</strong> - a sustainable way of integrations<br />
speed of movement, will be reduced negative effects on the environment, will be enhanced security,<br />
will increase the flow of international trade, freight transport, and will contribute to increasing the<br />
competitiveness of corridor X in terms of corridor IV. Corridor X is important for Republic of Macedonia<br />
because over 90 % of trade is conducted through it. With international rail corridors on our territory<br />
should have primary and maximum in general to improve the functionality of the railway network in the<br />
Republic of Macedonia, and it will increase the interest and ability to transport passengers and goods<br />
and will create conditions for the profitable management of the railways.<br />
Republic of Macedonia, not to become a bottleneck or not to be surrounded in international transport,<br />
in development programs must inject as a priority the development of infrastructure of international rail<br />
corridors that pass through our country. The development of the railway infrastructure will bring<br />
numerous benefits to the country as the Republic of Macedonia. However rail has numerous<br />
advantages compared to road transport. The emissions of harmful gases in transport by rail are lower<br />
than the road and about nine times in the road and about thirty times in freight transport. Safety in rail<br />
traffic is about thirty times better than in road traffic. Energy consumption for equal work performed in<br />
shipping by rail is less than in road transport and about 3,5 times in passenger and about nine times in<br />
freight transport. Regarding the deployment of land space for the same rank of a road, for railway in<br />
terms of time takes less area about 1,5 times (one track and single-lane road) to three times (for two<br />
track and highway). At the same time, rail transport is significantly less dependent on the adverse<br />
weather conditions in relation to the road.<br />
5. CONCLUTION<br />
Road infrastructure is very important for economic development, labor mobility, and competitiveness<br />
within the international distribution of traffic operations. It is one of the key factors that greatly affect<br />
the economic development and spatial structure of the country / regions.<br />
The main regional network is considered to be one of the most important policies for the provision of<br />
long-term peace, stability and economic prosperity of South East Europe.<br />
Construction and completion of the Pan-European Corridor X to level of highway, will contribute to<br />
strengthening ties with neighboring countries, improving the flow of international trade, as well as<br />
improving connectivity with its remote areas. Improved infrastructure along the Pan-European corridor<br />
X, open up opportunities to increase traffic by connecting Central Europe with the port of Thessaloniki,<br />
Greece.<br />
Corridors VIII and X (road and rail) represented strategic economic priorities which will make Republic<br />
of Macedonia to grow by only geographically, in real traffic crossroads in the Balkan. The strategic<br />
importance of these Trans – national axes is that it will contribute to faster and safer shared<br />
communication and transportation of passengers and goods, leading to economic security and<br />
stability.<br />
Mutual alignment of individual traffic branches, as well as the compliance of transport facilities and<br />
transport infrastructure will contribute to reduce of travel costs, travel time and faster traffic flow that<br />
will positively affect on the increase of the transit of persons and goods, and raising the level of trade<br />
between the countries.<br />
