Updated List of Important Investments to Restart the Slovenian Economy after the Epidemic
On the basis of the Intervention Act on removing barriers for the implementation of important investments to restart the economy after the COVID-19 epidemic which entered into force on 31 May 2020, the Slovenian Government has determined the list of important investments worth EUR 7.7 billion which can be further expanded.
Second Railway Track Divaca-Port of Koper
The Divaca–Koper track is important for the international railway freight transport, as the existing track represents a bottleneck on two core European railway corridors.
The Second Railway Track from Divaca to the Port of Koper
he Divaca-Koper section is an integral part of the Trans-European Transport Network ("TEN-T network"). In accordance with EU Regulation No. 1316/2013, the territory of the Republic of Slovenia is crossed by two corridors of the core network, an integral part of which is also the Divaca–Koper line:
the Baltic Adriatic corridor in the direction (Graz)–Šentilj–Maribor–Ljubljana–Koper/Trieste, and
the Mediterranean corridor in the direction (Venice)–Trieste/Koper–Ljubljana–Pragersko–Hodoš–(Budapest).
The importance of the Divaca-Koper line is most evident in international railway freight transport, which is understandable given the role of the Port of Koper in linking the hinterland Slovenian and European economies with countries overseas.
