| Abstract: | Transit systems consist of infrastructure, legal framework, institutions, procedures, and any other elements governing the movements of transit goods and traffic. A functional transit system is essential for trade connectivity in the region, particularly for landlocked countries. On the other hand, the transit countries generally consider it a priority to avoid transit fraud and smuggling in the territory as well as reduce its financial, infrastructural, environmental and social burdens deriving of the transit traffic. Any transit system should be designed to meet the substantive needs of both landlocked and transit countries. |
