Transport development strategy to follow economic needs, says minister

Autor: half
HUM NA SUTLI, Oct 2 (Hina) - A strategy of Croatia's transport development will be ready by February and in future investments in the transport infrastructure will match economic needs, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Sinisa Hajdas Doncic said on Wednesday.

Speaking at an exporters' meeting in Hum Na Sutli, he said Croatia was "overbuilt" in terms of motorways and that it had too many airports in relation to the population.

He said the new strategy would follow the needs of the economy, especially export companies, because good and cheaper transport made their product more competitive.

He said works on the Dugo Selo-Krizevci railroad, worth EUR 220 million, would begin next year, adding that the strategy envisaged the development of road and rail transport as well as port terminals.

The minister said all major Croatian corridors were now part of the European transport network, which would facilitate planning and applying for European funding.

He disagreed with Hypo bank analyst Hrvoje Stojic, who reiterated at the meeting that GDP would contract 0.7 per cent in 2014. The minister said he was more optimistic thanks to investments in the Zagreb Airport and an IKEA store near Zagreb.
