"VIDIN - CALAFAT AGENDA" PROJECT

The project aims to build the on-site capacity in Vidin and Calafat for effective civil monitoring of the process of the Second Danube Bridge construction and the impact it will have on the local communities (i.e. economic, social, ecological, etc.), as well as to use this capacity for protection of the local interest.
