Intro

Since the year 2011, according to the new strategy of Macro-region covering 14 Danube river-side states, shortly called EUSDR, we have a clear road-map and a guideliness document. So, we could manage closing the development gaps, including in Romania, partner along with Austria to this large-scale changing project for the 21st century.

This strategy is not a patch project, instead it was designed from the beginning to duplicate the best practices of the Baltic Sea Strategy, in a mosaic-like geographic area, within complex financial packages from joint EU projects, but also by endorsing successful coalition/partnerships for major investments in all major areas: infrastructure, environment, energy, tourism, cultural heritage, institutional reforms etc.
