Danube Basin, 29 June 2013. Johannes Hahn, EU Commissioner for Regional Development, reaches out to the people of the Danube River Basin in a video message on Danube Day.

Danube Day was a superb celebration of everything achieved in the 18 years
since the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention. Whether you
were one of the hundreds of thousands who participated; one of millions who
heard about it; or work for one of the 900 organisations involved, you helped
spread Danube solidarity through more than 350 individual events. Bridging
national and institutional boundaries, the 14-country festival demonstrates
that the region is strongest when it works together. It reminds us of the
value of rivers, renews our resolve to look after them and, with so many
events focused on enjoying rivers, helps us reclaim them!
