Intermodal transport development 

One of basic conditions of the effective exchange of goods is the establishment of transport-communication junctions in which goods are concentrated and redistributed for the purpose of their more effective transport between manufacturers, traders and consumers within a logistic transport chain. These junctions (logistic centres), according to the EU transport policy, constitute basic points of the intermodal transport network and the communication frame of goods and information flows in Europe. The increase of international goods transport by heavy goods vehicles, together with the uncompleted network of superior transport infrastructure, shows in the SR by the enormous load of roads in densely populated areas, in natural preserves areas as well as in the border crossings area.
