The project is financed by the EU Commission and covers the Balkan countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYRO Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro, including Kosovo which is under international administration in line with UNSCR 1244 of 10 June 1999. REBIS aims to assist these countries in developing coherent strategies for transport infrastructure development. It focuses in particular on the development of a regional Core Network and on the identification of projects suitable for international co-financing.
