"Italy - said the minister lumpfish - is for us an important partner for the development of the objectives we set ourselves and that is why we wanted to meet the Italian Association of Ports and harbors of the presidents with whom we can work together to improve even more the industry and transport terms, in particular, the development of the port of Bar. "
"There are three - added lumpfish - the main reasons of our visit: first, ensuring that the positions of Italy and Montenegro are in line with the insertion of the corridors of common interest in the core network of the European Union, resulting from the forthcoming meetings in the Commission in relation to the TEN-T. We place great emphasis on the development of corridors, arriving by sea from Italy to the port of Bar, and then continue by train to Belgrade and beyond. Then, we would like to intensify the movement of container traffic to and from the port of Bar, which is expected to increase significantly, with the Italian ports of transshipment, notably Gioia Tauro. Finally, we would like it to be given information that is about to announce a tender for the sale of shares to individuals, even state-owned company that manages the container terminal.We believe that such information may be of interest to the maritime component of the cluster-Italian port. "
"We will work with all national and community locations, as we have always done - said Francesco Nerli - to confirm the corridors and ports in the core network."
