Danube Basin Civil Society Network Project
Print 26 / 02 / 2010

At the beginning of 2010, the European Commission started to develop a strategy for the Danube region. This process is open to all stakeholders of the countries concerned - Danube countries from or outside of the European Union - including all actors of civil society, NGOs, academic institutions.

The European Commission has prioritized 3 pillars as core content for the Danube strategy:


  • Environment including transnational water and resource management, Biodiversity, risk prevention and management
  • Connectivity including improvement of bridges, rail- and waterways, information technology, as well as ensuring sustainable energy
  • Socio-economic Integration including socio-economic integration, labour market, cultural heritage and diversity, demographic change and integration of migrants
There have been demands to establish additional pillars:

  • Prosperity and Security for all Citizens
  • Cooperation of Cities and Regions to Promote Innovation and Improve European Governance
  • Civil Society Participation
For more information please the network's newly established website.
