Green corridors as a method of accelerating the movement of goods within the CEFTA region during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The paper points out the changes that have occurred in the way of life and business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and emphasizes the need to include indicators of certain health risks and threats in the modern development of the concept of global security. The current pandemic has endangered life in every country, primarily with a high mortality rate, but also by limiting economic flows. In order to establish the normal flow of critical goods in such extraordinary circumstances, the so-called "Green Corridors" within six CEFTA countries. Priority of passage and short stay at the border for food, medicine and protective equipment, at a number of border crossings during 24 hours, are the main characteristics of the established regime, which quickly manifested its positive effects, primarily in stabilizing the national markets with key resources.
