Some of the transport lines already pass through this port, either those going to the EU or to other countries from the EU. going in that direction. This flow will increase.

Also the current political situation, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, this flow is already increasing and we have to be ready for this reality. We already have a successful cooperation and how can we develop it further? I am here for that."
