Abstract
The article discusses the place and role of the project of the international transport corridor “North-South” in the structure of the transport and logistics system of the EAEU, as well as the potential of this project in terms of expanding the political influence of the Eurasian Economic Union in the international arena, in the case, that the implementation of the ITC “NorthSouth” project represents the interests of several major international actors, as well, as being a tool for realization of political and economic interests of these actors.
