Fast trains to Slovenia open Eastern markets: deputy min

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JAN 11 - "The very important agreement on fast trains from Italy to Slovenia has been closed," said Edoardo Rixi, deputy minister of transport and infrastructure, on the sidelines of a visit to the Naples Frecciarossa maintenance plant in Gianturco. The agreement is "a step that demonstrates how Italy is now a European excellence at a high speed level." "We also have important prospects in the United States and on the Indian continent," explains Rixi, "but it is clear that the European territory is of important development and today opens up towards the East, also with a view to overcoming the Ukrainian crisis."
