The Danube river basin is home to fish species such as pike , zander , huchen , Wels catfish , burbot and tench. However, some of the river's resources have been managed in an environmentally unsustainable manner in the past, leading to damage by pollution, alterations to the channel and major infrastructure development, including large hydropower dams. Especially the parts through Germany and Austria are very popular, which makes it one of the 10 most popular bike trails in Germany.

  • European Commission
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE Brussels, 14 June 2013 Commissioner Hahn hails opening of ‘New Europe Bridge’ as a potent symbol of European Cooperation The EU Commissioner for Regional Policy, Johannes Hahn will today mark an historic moment between Bulgaria and Romania, and the neighbouring regions of Vidin and Calafat, when he attends the inaugural opening of a bridge linking the two countries. Commissioner Hahn will be accompanied by President Plevneliev and Prime Minister, Oresharski of Bulgaria, as well as Romanian Prime Minister Ponta. The recently named ‘New Europe Bridge’ has received €106 million in EU investment and is only the second bridge along the countries' 630 km border. It is of vital strategic importance for the EU: a key link in a route that could stretch from Northern Europe, the Baltics, through Central Europe, Romania and Bulgaria, and eventually, to Greece. Construction began on the Bridge project in 2007, but the plan was already under discussion nearly 15 years before. The EU Strategy for the Danube Region, with its unique cooperation method, combined with the intervention of Commissioner Hahn, pushed the project to completion. Commenting on the opening, the Commissioner said: "This bridge is a powerful symbol of EU Regional Policy connecting communities and creating vital business links. Today the New Europe Bridge is not just opening for traffic, but it is ushering in a whole range of opportunities for business and research on both sides of the water, and beyond." He added: "I am confident that the collaboration between Romania and Bulgaria - which we have helped foster through the Danube Strategy and which has made this project possible, will create the incentive for more connections, and will benefit both countries hugely." IP/13/537 The New Europe Bridge, formally known as the Calafat-Vidin Bridge, forms an essential part of the EU's priority road and rail transport corridors, and is expected to radically reduce the travel time for passengers and freight between South East Europe, Turkey and Central Europe.

It built fiscal buffers by accumulating fiscal surpluses between 2004 and 2008, and reduced public www.InvEstbg.GovErnmEnT.BG debt from over 70 % of GDP in 2000 to 16.3 % in 2010, one of the lowest debt levels in the EU today. Between 2000 and 2010, average annual growth reached 4.7 %. During that same period, Bulgaria’s per capita income as a share of the EU average increased dramatically from 28 % to 44 %.

  • New Europe with New Railway Passenger Services
    New Europe with new railway passenger services SEE countries have always been the subject of an international interest associated with their position on the border between Europe and Asia. To a large extent it is also valid for the railways, which are important part of the freight chain West–East, and also provide transport services to millions of passengers within the region and beyond it. EU membership of Bulgaria and Romania did not reflect significantly the routes of international passenger trains. Essential importance had only the financial crisis of recent years, which delayed opening of new services, and in some cases terminated existing one. New Europe Bridge However, the "new" EU members put considerable efforts for long term connection of their economies and infrastructure with Pan-European. A good example of this is the opening of the New Europe Bridge which connects two neighboring cities in Bulgaria and Romania - Vidin and Calafat. Originally planned as a rail bridge and then constructed as a combined road-rail, the bridge begins to change European trade routes. And if car and truck traffic have already exceeded the expected value of loading, rail traffic is expected to reveal its potential from now on. The first step in this direction is the launch of regular passenger services across the bridge between Vidin and Golenti. Awakening of Greece Probably one of the mirthless symbols of the global financial crisis was Greece. The political and economic situation led to the suspension of all international train connections of Greece with the region in 2011. Passengers didn’t disappear.

They depend more and more on national and international developments, on the inner dynamics, on stakeholder involvement and on the external relationships. In order to develop, regions have to promote themselves externally, both as a unique compound and a mosaic of individual offers. Territorial marketing is increasingly more important in the modern economies and societies, considering the globalization, the increased connections between regions, the growing tourism activities as well as the developing economic needs. In this context, the academic literature is also increasingly more interested in the topic. What is territorial marketing? Territorial marketing is a strategy that aims the development of a certain region.
