Stakeholders' Forum

The Stakeholders’ Forum of the project “Preparing FAIRway 2 works in the Rhine-Danube corridor“ is being established in line with the long-term orientation of beneficiaries of the project (viadonau – Austrian Company for Inland Waterway, Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Serbia, and Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure of Croatia) towards application of the modern concept of inland waterways management, as well as in line with the identified good practice in implementation of similar projects along the Danube River.

Integrated inland waterways management considers an orientation towards harmonization of interests of different stakeholders, respecting national and international legal framework and relevant guidelines, including, among others, the Joint Statement on Guiding Principles for the Development of Inland Navigation and Environmental Protection in the Danube River Basin (ICPDR, DC, and ISRBC).

The Stakeholders' forum of the project "Preparing FAIRway 2 works in the Rhine- Danube corridor" is a multidisciplinary body for improving the quality of the project as well as the exchange of information. The forum is being established with the goal to enable wide input and involvement of civil society organizations that have an interest in the project.

The involved parties provide independent and professional inputs, guidance for the project and foster discussion and provide recommendations and advises on different issues regarding the project.

The work of the Forum is transparent. The necessary documentation follows every meeting of the Forum, in English, Croatian and/or Serbian language, will be available here.
