German officials have promised to support a project of a high-speed rail to connect Prague, Dresden and Berlin, which is of key importance for the project to receive money from European funds, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said, the Prague Post reports.
Stanislaw Tillich, the minister-president of the Free State of Saxony, told journalists after a meeting with Sobotka and Reiner Haseloff, the minister-president of the German federal state Saxony-Anhalt, that it will yet take at least 10 years to prepare the project. A feasibility study is now being prepared, Tillich said.
Sobotka said that both officials promised to back the project so that it is included in the German government’s transport plan.
“In order to get finances (for the project) from European funds, it is necessary that the German government makes it a part of its strategic document,” Sobotka said.
Germany’s transport plan is to be completed at the end of this year and it will also depend on federal states which projects will become its part.
