This report develops a framework for a crosscountry comparative assessment of transport sustainability in central and eastern European countries. The objective was to assess where national transportation systems stand relative to each other according to sustainability criteria. The core of the method is the evaluation of the current status and trends in transport performance using an Analytic Hierarchy Process approach. As a result, countries have been positioned in a static-dynamic space related to sustainability sub-themes. The significance of the approach is in its ability to monitor and analyze transport system functionality regarding sustainability concerns, thus raising awareness of these problems among policy makers.

The working paper aims to highlighting the major evolutionary milestones, for each transport mode, and also the imposed obstacles and the advantages offered by the national economy, in the development transportation in Romania, starting with 1990 year until now. Each mode of transportation cyclic evolution presents expansions and recessions phases. However, each new evolution cycle, of a transport mode, does not start from "zero", but from the accumulated information (inherited) from previous cycle that will developed, refined and diversify in the future expansion phases. Given the interdependence with the other branches of the national economy and, by its very character, in the public interest, in the last two decades, the transports supported and, also, influenced the evolutions and improvements of the Romanian economy and also, of the entire Romanian society. In addition, the development of different modes of transport has been uneven in recent decades, without taking into consideration the consequences of these evolutions on collateral fields. Some important connections between transportation and economic branches or between transport infrastructures and the regional development represent, also, important aspects presented in this working paper.

Development of the classic branches of transport until after the year 1999 was a characteristic of economic policies in Kosovo, which came as a result of improper functioning of the market economy and non-application of modern technologies. Despite the great importance that the multimodal transport has for Kosovo, till today initial steps have been taken with the approval of the sector strategy for the multimodal transport 2015-2025 by the Kosovo Government, respectively by the Ministry of Infrastructure. The aim of this strategy is to set priorities in terms of infrastructure, as well as in terms of legal regulation. This paper addresses this topic in Kosovo for the first time, among other things notes the newly established circumstances in Kosovo after the war in 1999, which led to the change of policy development in the field of transport in order to adapt to the newly created circumstances and approximate with EU integration processes.

This article aims to build the concept of sustainable development of public passenger transport in Koszalin. The analysis and evaluation concerned communication network that is planned to be used to carry out public transport, as well as transport needs, financing transport services, preferences towards means of transport, the rules of the organization of transport market and the desired standard of transport services. The conclusions include scenarios for the development of the studied public passenger transport process in Koszalin.

The aim of this article is to present the main problems of public transportation in Kosovo after 2008 when the province's parliament announced the declaration of independence. We focus on the plans and documents that were signed between 2008 and 2010 in an attempt to compare them with the real impact of investments made in the last five years. We show how the conflict between Belgrade and Prishtina has influenced public transportation and examine the prospects for problem-solving in this sector. To do this, we employ a neo-institutional approach to the document analysis as the main research method.

The importance of transport is no longer needed to be underlined. Despite all statistical numbers and whichever other analysis, it is obvious that a well developed transport system with certain leads to economic growth. The last decades lead to an unprecedented development of global foreign trade. Benefic from economic point of view, transport development determined a worrisome increase of environmental pollution degree. Minimizing negative effects produced by transport became a global priority. Multimodal transport is a sustainable alternative for transport development. Achieving an upgraded multimodal transport is a priority for all European Union countries, including Romania. In this paper, the authors make an "x-ray" of national multimodal transport, trying, at the same time, to find solutions to develop them.

Integration of the Kosovo road network in the Pan-European network, means, first of all, to establish a road system and infrastructure that is in accordance with the requirements and standards of Pan-European road networks, and secondly, to use / promote the geographical position of the Kosovo main road network, making it able to meet the requirements of Pan-European road networks. Beside the fulfillment of the constructive/ technical / geometrical requirements towards the road infrastructure, the road transport network needs to guarantee to its users a high, uniform and continuous level of services, as well as road commodity and safety. In this thesis, there is also treated the position of the Kosovo road network, the main road directions of Kosovo and its compatibility with the needs of the Pan-European connection, the roads and corridors of the Balkans in context to the Pan-European corridors. In the continuation of the thesis, through the Software Trans CAD, there is conducted the analysis and the modeling of the Kosovo and Balkan road network, the analysis of the best connection and the shortest roads of Balkan countries. The identification of obstruction and the presentation of possibilities for the orientation of the flux of goods in a shorter road, in the function of reduced transport costs. The comparison of advantages and disadvantages of the existing roads (the eighth Pan-European corridor, the Tenth Pan-European Corridor, Via Egnatia etc), the economical sustainability and competition, the service quality, limitations (both natural, environmental / season or humane), transport capacities

The paper emphasises the necessity of developing multimodal transportation solutions in Croatia. Croatian transport infrastructure is not at a satisfactory stage of development, and, due to Croatia’s geographical position, the development of multimodal transportation is a beneficial factor for the development of the country’s economy. European Union recommends multimodal solution as less polluting and more energy efficient. Further, it is shown that the modernisation of transportation system in Croatia, by developing a multimodal transportation system, represents a comparative advantage factor for Croatian economy. The methods used are a comprehensive literature research, methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison method, as well as methods of collecting secondary sources of research. The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of developing multimodal transportation as a significant factor for economy development as well as contribution to raising awareness of this problem.

The article is the second in a series of articles on the negative externalities of passenger road, rail and air transport. It reviews the national documents in the field of environmental policy, identifies their content concerning transport which is used as a basis to determine the expected directions of development of this branch of economy. The authors presented a review of national strategic documents defining the directions of the Polish environmental policy, identified objectives and priorities relating directly or indirectly to transport activities, and compared the theoretical assumptions with the actual changes taking place on the transport markets, which allowed for an analysis of the compatibility of intentions with their implementation. The summary presents conclusions concerning the necessity of mutual coordination of transport development planning and environmental protection. The following articles will present the results of research on the above-mentioned negative ef...
