International Road Federation (IRF) is non-governmental, not-for-profit organization with mission to promote and innovate road infrastructure development.
The programs of the IRF Centres in Brussels and Geneva are focused on Europe as a part of IRF international programs, meaning the creation of platform for roads including public and private sector for purposes of integration with other initiatives of regional cooperation.
By organizing the Congresses for Southeastern Europe (so far four Congresses for Southeastern Europe have been held - the Third Congress was held in Belgrade organized by the PE “Roads of Serbia”, September 2002), the IRF sets as its goal promotion of cooperation between states and governments of Southeastern Europe, which is of vital interest for the region.
In a very close cooperation with main initiatives for reconstruction of Southeastern Europe, IRF aims at focusing development on better roads and road network as an urgent need for economic growth of the Southeastern European countries.
The PE «Roads of Serbia» is a permanent member of the IRF.
The result of a solid cooperation with the IRF was the visit of IRF Director General Mr. Anthony Pearce in March 2007.
The conclusion following the discussions is continuation of cooperation and active participation of the PE «Roads of Serbia» in activities of this association.
In this light, our delegation participated actively in the joint First Conference on Black Sea Ring Highway and the Fourth Conference on Silk Road in Istanbul in the period from 14th to 16th May 2007.The Conference in Istanbul was held in a moment when Turkey gained chairmanship-in-office of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), and when the world expresses its increased interest in Black Sea region.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the International Road Federation (IRF) and the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) with the purpose of promoting the Black Sea Ring Highway which was signed in November 2005 in Antalya was a basis for this joint conference.
The special contribution of this Conference is a regional development, i.e. connection between the Central Asia region and Black Sea region, as evidenced by the Declaration adopted at that Conference.
Black Sea Ring Highway is for our country a natural extension of branch Xc (E – 80), Niš – Sofija, which constitutes a part of Trans European North - South Motorway, because it connects countries of Western and Central Europe with countries of Black Sea basin, Russia and countries of Western Balkans, thus covering political and economic area from the Adriatic Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
By construction of the branch Xc and completion of motorway from Burgas via Sofia to the border with the Republic of Serbia the connection with the Black Sea Ring and countries of Black Sea region are being made.
