"If everything goes according to plans, works should be completed by 2020, resulting in a railway connection between Skopje and Sofia", said Asani.
According to Lambrev, Bulgarian railways are currently working on new rail routes leading to Macedonia.
"We will complete the works by 2020. We are prepared to use the old route, although we are working in parallel on the new route leading to the Macedonian border", added Lambrev.
