Achieving better living conditions in cross border area is of crucial importance. At the moment, incompatibility of the technical characteristics and the poor capacity of the transport infrastructure in the neighbouring countries are the main obstacles for improved living conditions and improved quality transport of goods and people. The project includes two cross-border areas, North Banat County on Serbian side, and Timis County on Romanian, characterized by common cultural and historical heritage, traditional good-neighbourly relations and cooperation, but having certain differences in economic circumstances. Generally, transport sector is an important component of the economy impacting on development and the welfare of population. When transport systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multiplier effects such as better accessibility to markets, job opportunities, they enable saving the time and costs, and bring additional investments. When transport systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have an economic cost such as reduced or missed opportunities. Transport also carries an important social and environmental load, which cannot be neglected. Unfortunately, existing transport and mobility service infrastructure, does not meet the needs of the population and the business sector in the region, for several reasons. Primarily because of inappropriate conditions on the border crossing Nakovo – Lunga, that is open only 12 hours a day, and does not fulfil the conditions for transfer of busses and trucks with axle loads over 3.5 tonnes; then, because the access roads leading to the border crossing and major transport corridors do not meet the standards in the field of transport. These restrictions represent a major obstacle for improved living conditions and better quality of transport of goods and people. The project consortium is composed of four partners (Public Enterprise "Roads of Serbia", Municipality of Kikinda, Municipality of Jimbolia and Regional Agency for Socio-Economic Development Banat), that have gathered around a common idea that investing in quality standard in public transport and mobility services could overcome the common challenges of cross-border region. As the transport and border crossing infrastructure are recognized as a main basis for local and regional economic development, project partners are considered as agents for promotion of inter-regional exchange and balanced regional development which foster high-employment economy and deliver social and territorial cohesion. In this sense, the IBC project foresees the realization of four major groups of activities, by whose implementation we want to contribute to achieving overall objective of the project “Contribution to connectivity in eligible area across the border, through the improvement of quality standards in public transport and mobility services”: Investment: This work package is the core of the project and includes the most important activities that will strongly contribute to the achievement of project objectives, as well as objectives of the programme. Activities that will be implemented in the framework of this work package will produce the following outputs: - Prepared Technical documentation for the construction of the bicycle path on IB-15 state road in the area of the section Kikinda – Nakovo - LB. - Prepared Technical documentation for rehabilitation of the streets adjacent to national road 59C in Jimbolia – P2. - Constructed two-way bicycle paths on the right side of the state road No. 15 I-B section: Kikinda Nakovo (state border with Romania) - LB. - Installed necessary contents at the border crossing Nakovo – P3. - Rehabilitated of streets adjacent to the national road 59C in Jimbolia – P2. Implementation: Activities under this work package should contribute to a better utilization of the improved cross-border infrastructure and border crossing services (equipped border crossing, constructed bicycle path and rehabilitated local roads). Outputs that will be achieved in the framework of this work package are: - Created Cross-border cooperation network. - Established Information and promotion office of cross-border economic cooperation. - Set up Cross-border cooperation web portal. - Participants acquire knowledge about the new possibilities for improvement of cross-border economic cooperation at cross-border events (Cross-border cooperation event in Serbia and round table in Romania). Communication: The activities in this work package are planned to ensure permanent communication internally (inside the project team), as well as extarnaly with target groups and general public, inform them about the project activities aimed at overcoming common issues related to the connectivity of the region, as well as involve them in the project. Main output stemming from the activity are: - Adopted Project Communication Plan. - Held Promotiona
