Surface water assessment is important for number of activities such as: water management in the country, making reports to international agencies, determining the change of the resources in the light of upcoming climate changes. The determination of water resources is based on information of hydrometric stations from the monitoring network system in the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology — Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NIMH- BAS) in which real ongoing and available water flows that are subject of management are registered. In the study a technology for surface water bodies in the Bulgarian basins of the lower Danube is applied which has been developed in the frame of cooperative project together with the Ministry of Environment and Water. This is absolutely true for the Bulgarian section of the Danube River basin which is expressed in big number and variety of hydrological homogeneous sections. The river flow is characterized with annual and inter-annual variability determined by climatic factors and anthropogenic influences.

    Bulgarian Contribution Towards the Development of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region

    1 Bulgarian Contribution towards the Development of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region First Draft (22 February 2010) Introduction This document outlines the Bulgarian standpoint in the process of development of the European Union’s Strategy for the Danube Region. This new initiative coordinated by the European Commission, combines the efforts of regions and countries within the Danube drainage basin aiming at the acceleration of processes of economic and social cohesion, enhancement and expansion of territorial cooperation while effectively implementing the principles of the European cohesion policy at macro-regional level. Bulgaria believes that partnership among member-states, applicant countries and potential applicant countries taking part in the Strategy, is a key factor for the successful and purposeful achievement of priorities for increased competitiveness, innovation development, energy efficiency and territorial cohesion. Bulgaria fully supports the process of drafting of a joint Danube area development strategy in the context of European regional policy and expresses its will to take active part in it. The Danube region must be seen also as a natural connection between the Baltic Sea region, Black Sea region, Adriatic and Alpine regions. The Strategy for the Danube Region is a process that will provide for reduction of social and economic differences between countries and regions and will ensure competitive development of regional and local communities, establishment of sustainable partnerships, exchange of know-how, good innovation practices and multicultural dialogue. This first draft of the Bulgarian standpoint in the process of drafting of the European Strategy for the Danube Region outlines the understanding of the context, target framework and priorities that are of utmost importance for the development of the macro- region’s potential, including its Bulgarian part.

Cross-border cooperation (Interreg V-A) in specific, represents one of the main goals of the policy, aiming at tackling common issues and challenges identified from border regions, at enhancing the growth dynamics of those areas, while promoting the values of solidarity and shared mentality. Despite the occasional shadows and delays in the project planning, the difficulties in the implementation and the bureaucratic obstacles, the Romanian- Bulgarian cross-border cooperation has transformed the economy and the relations between the two countries, improving significantly the quality of life of their citizens. In this special report, EURACTIV focuses on some of the most important aspects of this shared socioeconomic ecosystem, capturing its core characteristics and added value.

French Cultural Influence in 19th Century Black Sea Region (1800–1854) The paper aims to give insights into the French cultural influence in the Black Sea region and its role in the process of “westernization” of the area as seen by French local consuls. Consuls have been since the Early Modern Time a relevant institution, playing a key role in building international networks, collecting information, supporting the interests of fellow nationals abroad, facilitating trade, and, last but not least, enhancing the “image” of the country among local ruling classes. This last aspect involved a wide range of activities including public lectures, private meetings, but also the support and control of French schools, as, for example, the renowned Lycée Richelieu of Odessa, created in 1816 by the Jesuit Dominique Charles Nicolle. From the 16th century onwards French consuls were normally supported by a “chancellery”, an office administered by the consul’s personal secretary, the chancellor, who registered facts, letters, official acts. This way, we have at disposal a vast documentation all diverse aspects as the consuls’ activity, including cultural ones, the daily life of French and local residents, cultural interchanges. This wide range of sources, mainly preserved at the Archives Nationales in Paris, has been, as recently noted (see e.g. the conference “Consuls, figures de l’intermédiation marchande”, University of Nice, FR, April 2014) only partially exploited, mainly focusing on diplomatic, but only occasionally going deeper into the daily-life, not to say cultural issues.
