Keep the Danube Blue this summer in Serbia!
For the 20th anniversary of the International Day of the Danube River, PWMC "Srbijavode" in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management – Republic Directorate for Water, the "Jaroslav Černi" Water Institute, and the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade, organized an event that included a boat cruise on the Danube River. During the cruise, international projects of great significance for the entire Danube River Basin region were presented.
At the event marking the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the International Day of the Danube River, a large number of media representatives who covered the event and experts from the public were presented with the “Danube Water Balance”, an international project of big importance for the entire Danube River Basin region.
On behalf of the Republic of Serbia, experts from PWMC “Srbijavode” are actively participating in the implementation of numerous international projects, and in this project, together with the Republic of Hungary, they serve as the leading partner.
PWMC "Srbijavode" traditionally organizes the celebration of Danube Day with the aim of participating in raising awareness about the importance of preserving natural resources, with a special focus on river systems.
This year, during the boat cruise, the youngest participants learned about the importance of preserving rivers through interactive workshops, where they creatively engaged with PWMC "Srbijavode" engineers to learn about important concepts such as rivers and floods. They also had the opportunity to visit the exhibition "From Belgrade's Rivers" by Gordana Karović.
Attendees enjoyed stories about the Danube River, and the entire event was enriched with a classical music performance inspired by the Danube.
PWMC „Vode Vojvodine“ succesfully organized recreational Regatta in order to highlight great potential for navigation in AP Vojvodina, importance of natural tourism development and preservation of the environment on navigable waterways.
