Transport Minister Martin Kupka and German Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and Transport Volker Wissing signed today a joint declaration on future development plans for the rail connection between the Czech Republic and Germany. Both ministries want to concentrate on building a high-speed connection on the Prague – Dresden – Berlin axis, on the modernisation and electrification of the Prague – Pilsen – Domažlice – Nuremberg/Munich line and on improving the parameters of the Nuremberg – Marktredwitz – Cheb – Prague connection. The ministers also want to proceed in a coordinated manner at the EU level in the negotiations on obtaining funding for railway infrastructure.
