A good road infrastructure is a precondition of developed area and in this case is even more important taking into account the transnational character of the area. At the moment there is no direct road connection between Lazuri and Zajta and despite the short distance, about 6.5 km, people living near the border are forced to travel a longer distance for reaching one settlement or the other.Improved cross-border infrastructure is a fundamental pre-condition for sustainable cross-border cooperation in the target area. Better infrastructure and accessibility is seen as the most viable approach for the common challenges identified by the partners. On the Romanian side the road starts from the infield area of Lazuri towards the Romanian - Hungarian frontier, where it connects to the Hungarian section of the road between Zajta and the border.The target groups of the project are represented by the local population of Lazuri and Zajta, the total population established in the settlements of the Lazuri commune numbered 5.903 persons, on the Hungarian side 434 people.
