A tripartite memorandum of understanding was signed on 25 November 2008 between Russia, Ukraine, and Slovakia on the construction of a broad-gauge line to the Austrian border. Austrian chancellor Werner Faymann announced on 30 April 2009 that his government politically supports the construction of a broad-gauge line from the Austro-Slovak border to Vienna. The Slovak Prime Minister Iveta Radičová announced on November 2010, the Slovak government will not support the project, as it threatens the Slovak workplaces in the Dobrá bulk terminal, which would be unnecessary after the completion of the project.[1]
