ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to analyzing historical trends and peculiarities of formation and reformation of transport system, infrastructure, logistics and transport in general in the countries of the Visegrad Group – Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic – in communist and post-communist periods. It is motivated that the solution of transport problems at the interface between the regimes of “real socialism” and post-communism was the initial stage of formation of the current transport system in the countries of the Visegrad Group. This was mainly due to the processes of diversified privatization and deregulation of transport system, infrastructure and logistics, which had a definite effect on the change in the ownership structure of transport, and hence on the further development of transport infrastructure and logistics both in post-communist and post-Eurointegration periods.
