The both ministers Peter Mutafchiev and Evripidis Stylianidis will give then a press conference for mass media representatives.

The signing of trans-border agreement will give the possibility for building of two common railway stations on the territory of Bulgaria and Greece. For the Border transition Kulata - Promahon the railway station Kulata has been selected and for the border transition Svilengrad - Dikeya the railway station in Dikeya.

This will facilitate and accelerate the transition of passengers and freights between Bulgaria and Greece. Also the delays and the travel time across the border will be decreased.
