Launching traffic through the Zheleznitsa tunnel of the Struma motorway marks a step forward in Bulgaria's full transport connectivity with its neighbouring countries, in particular with Greece, and in a slightly more distant perspective with the completion of the country's first transport corridor connecting its southern and northern borders, Regional Development Minister Andrey Tsekov said on Tuesday at the symbolic launch ceremony in front of the two-kilometre-long facility.
