Abstract: This paper aims at analysing the projects and the initiatives of the Central and Eastern European countries that have been finalised, are in progress or will be developed in the near future with the help of the existing or future financial instruments specific to the 16+1 platform and the One Belt, One Road complex program. For our research we selected four countries, namely: Poland, Romania, Serbia and Hungary, the group being relevant from the perspective of the transportation corridors connected to the †One Belt, One Road†initiative: (1) - Piraeus, Skopje, Belgrade, Budapest, Western Europe; (2) - Suez Canal, Constanta and then Danube, Western Europe, or through Moldova towards Ukraine and Poland; (3) – Constanta, through the Black Sea and Caspian Sea and then the corridors mentioned at the previous point. We based our analysis on the data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China-CEEC think-tank network and the literature in the field.
