  • 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.

Cvijic. 67(1) (11–25) Original scientific paper UDC: 911.2:556.53 (497.2) DOI: https://doi.org/10.2298/IJGI1701011I DETERMINATION OF WATER RESOURCES IN RIVERS IN THE BULGARIAN BASINS OF THE LOWER DANUBE Plamen Iliev Ninov*, Tzviatka Ivanova Karagiozova*, Maya Yordanova 1 Rankova* * National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology — BAS, Sofia, Bulgaria Received: December 29, 2016; Reviewed: March 10, 2017; Accepted: March 31, 2017 Abstract: Object of the study is surface water bodies from category “rivers” according to Water Framework Directive 2000/60/ЕС. 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.

  • New Luminescence-Based Geochronology Framing the Last Two Glacial Cycles at the Southern Limit of European Pleistocene Loess in Stalać (Serbia)

The section is located in the interior of the Central Balkan region, south of the typical loess dis- tribution, in a zone of paleoclimatic shifts between continental and Mediterranean climate regimes. The sampled sequence contains four well-developed paleosol and loess layers, a crypto tephra and one visible tephra layer. Optically stimulated luminescence measurements showed a strong dependen- cy of preheat temperature on equivalent dose for one fine-grained quartz sample, which makes it un- suitable for dating. A firm chronology framing the last two glacial cycles was established using fine- grained polyminerals and the post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIR50IR290) protocol in- stead. The characteristics of dated paleosols indicate similar climatic conditions during the last inter- stadial and interglacial phases, which were different from the penultimate interglacial period.
