  • Albania, Macedonia and Railway Corridor Viii, As a Good Opportunity for Economic Development
    International Journal of Development and Economic Sustainability Vol.2, No.5, pp. 31-36, December 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) ALBANIA, MACEDONIA AND RAILWAY CORRIDOR VIII, AS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Fabjola Bramo PhD candidate, European University of Tirana ABSTRACT: This paper aims to identify the role of railway transport in economic development in Albania and Macedonia. It also aims to identify the importance of Railway Corridor VIII as a good opportunity to reduce costs of transport and shortening distance of travelling for freight trains. The future of railway transport is considered golden. Railways transport is considered as an effective and ecological transport, factors these which can be used in their marketing. Yet are issues related to high technology, their accuracy, providing good service and affordable tariffs that serve as attractive in the development of railways. KEYWORDS: Albanian railway, Macedonian Railway, economic development, social development, VIII Corridor, Albanian transportation INTRODUCTION Albania has a geographical position in the Balkans. It serves as a bridge to the West for trade relations between the countries. Despite its convenient geographic position geographic favours made by the state to encourage foreign businesses to invest in Albania Albania's trade relations with the EU in 2012 left much to be desired. For countries with which the EU imports Albania still ranks last in the 60-with 0.1% or 2,376 million euros. In the list of the trade partners Albania is ranked 68th with 01% of the total, or 3,489 million euros. Developed railway infrastructure will give another impact to the economic development in the country and will contribute positively in trade relations.
