in Bulgaria in Sofia. It can be concluded that the Romanian partners have a higher presence (5
partners) than the Bulgarians (3 partners).
It was implemented a common management system energy (Dolj-Vidin) for environmental
protection and pollution prevention Danube and created a partnership for early warning and
