摘要：The study considers the question of sea outlets from a continental, Central European (Hungarian) point of view. It gives a historical overview about the position and politics of the states in the area which are either land-locked or have limited outlets. The paper takes the corridors into account relying upon these findings. The study discusses the Hungarian geographical and political situation in details. Since the nearest sea is the Adriatic, the issues of the Western Balkan corridor will be discussed in more detail. Today the question of marine transport in Europe affects primarily the connection with Far-Eastern/Chinese areas; therefore, we interpreted the possibility of a partly unnecessary sea-lane induced by the Eurasian railway transportation.
