For anyone criticizing Eastern European countries for their bad roads and infrastructure, time has come to join forces in an ambitious Highway project that will connect the Baltic countries with the Mediterranean beaches. The idea of such a highway is not new at all: it all started in 2006, and so far Poland has already invested millions of Euros in it. But this week it was Romania, Bulgaria and Greece joining in. It is estimated that the project will end sometime in 2020, but you shouldn’t imagine this as a singular initiative. All these recent members of the European Union have their own ambitions regarding the roads, so the project will more of less bring together their separate plans. Each of the countries have at least one highway in construction, which are expected to bring not only a considerable amount of tourists, but also ease traffic and stimulate commerce. The project will finally link Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece. Thus, everyone with a desire to embark an Eastern European road trip can wait the 10 years to do it alongside an ultra -modern highway, or just leave such pretensions behind and adventure inside these fascinating countries and experience their specific lifestyle and cultures.
