Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants. The tasks were laid out in specific Terms of Reference. At a Regional Workshop in Budapest from 27 to 29 January 1998, the national teams and the group of international consultants discussed in detail the methodological approach and the content of the National Reviews to assure coherence of results.

    Sava River Position Paper Prepared by Euronatur Supported by Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection (HDZPP) and Birdlife Slovenia (DOPPS)

    Sava River Position Paper Prepared by EuroNatur Supported by Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection (HDZPP) and BirdLife Slovenia (DOPPS) Introduction EuroNatur has been dedicated to nature conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources in the Sava River Basin for the last 25 years. In our role as an official observer of the Sava Commission EuroNatur has been following the processes of the Commission and the ongoing development of the Sava River Basin Management Plan with attention. Hereby we would like to comment on some questions related to further infrastructural development and regulation of the Sava River, which are urgent and alarming from our point of view. Moreover, we are offering recommendations and suggestions regarding these issues. Comments on the focus of the Sava Commission (ISRBC) The International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC) has been established for the purpose of realization of the following goals: I. Establishment of an international regime of navigation on the Sava River II. Establishment of sustainable water management III. Undertaking of measures to prevent or limit hazards Although the second goal includes the availability of “water in sufficient quantity and of appropriate quality for the preservation, protection and improvement of aquatic eco-systems (including flora and fauna and eco-systems of natural ponds and wetlands)” no working group was implemented that is adequately dealing with such issues as the monitoring and protection of the Sava River and connected aquatic ecosystems. Most publications that were elaborated by the ISRBC so far miss a clear reference to biodiversity and nature conservation topics, but deal with navigation and water management issues.
