Representatives of eastern European countries yesterday signed an agreement in Nyíregyháza on the construction of a high-speed motorway connecting the shores the Baltic and the Black Sea.

The suggested route would be Gdansk (Poland) – Lublin – Rzesów – Mihajlovce - Kralovsky Chlmec / Királyhelmec (Slovakia) - Záhony (Hungary) – Csengersima - Satu Mare / Szatmárnémeti (Romania) - Cluj Napoca / Kolozsvár - Bucarest (with an offset to Constantá) - Sofia (Bulgaria) (offset to Varna) – Sucheva - Chisinau (Moldova) - Odesa (Ukraine).

In Hungary, the M3 motorway would be connected to Ukraine, and it would be followed with the constructions of the new M49 road through North-Transilvania and Moldova to Odesa. The representatives on this meeting suggested the EU an extension of the M49 to Slovakia and Poland thus connecting Black Sea to the Baltic sea, with a great east European transport corridor.
