On 24 January 2018, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš met with Michael Kretschmer, the Prime Minister of Saxony (Germany), and, among other topics, held talks on the development of cross-border transport between the Czech Republic and Saxony.
Prime Minister Andrej Babiš stressed the need for the development of the transport infrastructure including the navigability of the Elbe river and the development of a high-speed rail between Prague and Dresden.
“The rail represents a natural connection of the Czech Republic to the Western European railway network with ports in the Northern Germany. For us, its development is of a strategic importance for both personal and freight transport. I am pleased that Saxony put this project in the urgent need category. Currently, the rail feasibility study is already being performed for the Czech party. The study should be completed at the beginning of 2019 at latest,” said the Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
