South-East Estonia region and Pskov oblast are due to their geographical position strategically important regions for development of exchange of trade between Russian Federation and Estonia/EU using motor transport. Two regions are also playing important role in development of tourism sector acting as a gate between Russian Federation and Estonia/EU and having many tourism attractions on their own territories.Main problems:1)Poor condition of road infrastructure in South-East Estonia and Pskov oblast near Estonian-Russian border doesnt enable to use full potential of both regions in exchange of trade, culture, tourism and co-operation between local communities; 2)The condition of road from Värska to Koidula frontier point (17 km) doesnt satisfy the needs of increasing volume of goods haulage.
