ZAGREB, Jan 21 (Hina) - The Croatian Railways (HZ) company plans to
realise about 453 million kuna of the income from transporting
goods and passengers along the tenth European corridor, the most
natural route linking the north and the west with the south-east of
Europe. #L#
Speaking at an international seminar on this corridor which passes
through Austria via Croatia to Greece, the HZ board president,
Marijan Drempetic, said the company was intending to register an
increase of 25 percent in the cargo transport in the corridor as
well as 25 percent higher earnings from this corridor.
Drempetic said the HZ expected monthly transport worth 100 million
kuna or 1.2 billion kuna at the annual level.
He recalled that before the Homeland Defence War and the closing of
the corridor, it covered over 50 percent of the entire transport of
the company.
In 2002, the transport along this corridor made up one fifth of the
entire transport which the HZ registered in that year when the
income from that route accounted for almost one third of the entire
earnings of the company.
On the second day of the seminar, participants also discussed the
importance of road transport along this corridor. Since the
corridor's re-opening in 1995, road transport has been on the
increase.
