TIRANA, July 23 – Albania will chair the managing committee of the South East Europe Transport Observer (SEETO) for the next two years.

SEETO, created in 2004, is made up of Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosova, Montenegro and Serbia.
It monitors the improvement in, or movement towards, legislation of the member countries so that the regional transport network develops simultaneously and achieves the levels of the pan-European network.
