Croatia And Slovenia Announce €20 Billion Infrastructure Investment Plan

Major cross-border projects set to strengthen transport, energy, and economic connectivity

Croatia and Slovenia have unveiled plans for a joint infrastructure investment cycle worth around €20 billion, aimed at strengthening transport links, energy networks, and broader economic cooperation between the two neighbouring EU member states. The ambitious framework reflects a shared commitment to long-term regional development and enhanced connectivity.

Key projects are expected to focus on upgrading railway corridors, modernising road infrastructure, and improving port capacities, as well as expanding cross-border energy interconnections.

The investments are designed to support economic growth, increase competitiveness, and contribute to the green and digital transitions promoted at the EU level.

Officials from both countries stressed that closer coordination on strategic infrastructure will not only benefit bilateral trade but also reinforce their role as an important transit and logistics hub linking Central Europe with the Adriatic region.
