Is a railway project that aims to connect Poland to the three Baltic countries. This project is one of the largest infrastructure initiatives in the region and aims to transform mobility in the northeast of the European Union, which is currently “isolated” from the rest of the continent.
Plans for Rail Baltic are divided into phases. The first phase includes the construction of a high-speed railway line that will connect the capitals of the three Baltic States with Warsaw, ensuring efficiency and future expansion capacity.
It is a major advance in connectivity, potentially increasing the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the Balkans through trade and tourism, in addition to contributing to the sustainability of the region.
There are those who view the project with apprehension and some residents express concern, saying that perhaps Russia is focused on war with Ukraine now, but no one can predict what will happen when the railway is completed.
Rail Baltic strengthens the resilience of the Baltic States against possible blockades and aggression. In addition to facilitating NATO military mobility, the railway provides a crucial alternative route for transporting goods and supplies in the event of crises.
