for the functional specialization of the small and medium sized Danube ports (in the further text Strategy). It is based on the analysis of the EU and national projects, State of the Art Study of the Port and the Master Plans which are defined in the DaHar project. 1.1 Port of Novi Sad The Port of Novi Sad is situated at 45°20′N and 19°51′E, in the central part of the autonomous province of Vojvodina in northern Serbia. The port is located at km 1254 at the left bank of the Danube, in the Novi Sad – Savino selo Canal (part of the Danube – Tisa – Danube - DTD Canal network) at its km 0.4 - 1.2. It covers an area of 24 ha. Figure 1. Port of Novi Sad Port is situated at the intersection of the two Pan-European transport corridors (naval corridor VII and road and rail corridor X) and it is an important transport and cargo handling centre of Central Europe. DaHar This project is co-funded by the European Union page 6 of 20 Local Action Plan - template This clearly indicates a good geographical position of the port and determines the direction of development in order to meet the needs of the local economic environment and international flows of goods, with particular attention to the development of multimodal transport. The distance between the Port and the corridors: 300 m to the railway corridor Xb 3 km to the road corridor Xb. 1.2 Participants involved (involved stakeholders): University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences (DaHar IPA Partner) and Republic of Serbia, Autonomous Province of Vojvodina - Provincial Secretariat of Economy (DaHar Associated Strategic Partner) 1.3 Legal backgrounds for the Action Plan On the EU level: White paper, EU projects Danube Strategy, TEN-T Guidelines, EU Strategy for the Danube Region - Appeal of the Steering Group, Linz, 17th April 2013.
