Stoyanov was quoted saying during the meeting, `Now is the right moment to discuss and develop our common infrastructure projects, such as European Transport Corridor VIII, between the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea, the high-voltage line which is to link the two national power grids, the Sofia-Skopje railway, and new border checkpoints. Where there is investment, there is no war; investors are strong advocates of the pacification of the region.`
