Belgrade, 29 Sept 2010 – Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Bozidar Djelic said today that Serbia has great opportunities in the implementation of the Danube strategy and this is why it should be prepared when a new Pan-European regional strategy on the Danube is adopted in June 2011.
Presenting the results of the four-month campaign ¨Days of Danube 2010¨, Djelic noted that the Danube is not only a natural beauty and link between many countries in Europe, but it is also a huge opportunity for Serbia since 588 kilometres of its length pass through it, which is a quarter of the river´s flow.
For Serbia it is important that a meeting on financing projects of the Danube strategy was held in Belgrade on 27 September, Djelic emphasised and added that this meeting was attended by European Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hahn and President of the European Investment Bank Philippe Maystadt.
The participants in the meeting agreed to work out a financial instrument which will cover the implementation of more than 1,000 projects from the Danube strategy, Djelic specified and called on everyone who has ideas and projects to apply for the funds.
