Abstract: Mainly because of the competition between modes of transport, the transport system has been for a good period of time highly segmented and un-integrated. More specifically, the search for the particular advantages in terms of cost, reliability and safety of each mode of transport lead to a lack of integration between the modes, phenomena which were also accentuated at times by the public policy. The introduction of the container and its diffusion within transport systems (particularly within maritime transport system) lead to the integration of different transport modes through intermodalism. This process was carried out in three major stages: containerization of maritime transport systems, containerization of inland transport systems, intermodal and transmodal operations. In order to integrate within the Euro – Asian intermodal freight transport network it is necessary to develop adequate intermodal transport infrastructure. In order to became a part of the up to date system it is planned development of Logistic Centre Pirot, as an intermodal node of a worldwide freight transport network located in Balkans.
