Greece, Bulgaria, Romania sign deal to establish military corridor

·

Greece, Romania and Bulgaria signed a deal on Thursday, July 11 to enable fast cross-border movement of troops and weapons to NATO’s eastern flank.

The deal comes after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine increased pressure on both NATO and the European Union to be better prepared to quickly send reinforcements in case of a sudden conflict with Moscow.

The planned military corridor between Greece, Romania and Bulgaria was one of two agreed on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Washington this week.

In a statement, Romania’s Defence Ministry said the military corridor with Greece and Bulgaria aims “to optimise transport corridors to respond to military mobility needs by creating road and rail supply lines between the participating states, reducing peace time bureaucracy and maximising efficiency in case of emergency situations.”

The three states could also connect their ports in the Aegean and Black seas.
