What special events are planned to bring the Danube Rivers closer to the people?
Mihailescu: I believe we have to extend Danube Day to Danube Week or even more – we should think about the Danube each day. That is why we are planning many activities which cannot be held in one day and we will organise a number of events throughout the whole year. We plan to have a lot of publicity for Danube Day in the Prut River Basin, and to present materials in regional mass-media on the celebration of Danube Day at the basin-wide level. During the Danube Day celebration week in Moldova we shall organise art and essay contests for children, public actions on greening of the settlements, river corridors, etc. Through all these and other events I hope that our people will have more information on the Danube and public awareness on the state of the environment will rise. Danube Watch: Thank you Mr Mihailescu and all the best for your presidency!
