1 Overview Introduction on the Framework Agreement on the a basis for sustainable development of the region Framework Agreement on the (FASRB) and the International Commission (ISRBC) Approach to Sustainable Development of the Key Messages Dejan Komatina, Ph.D. Civ. Eng., Secretary, ISRBC 2 Area: km 2 (the second largest Danube sub-basin; share: 12%) Average flow at the mouth: 1722 m 3 /s (the largest Danube tributary; contribution: 25%) River length: 940 km (594 km of which is the waterway) Population: approx. 8.5 million Country Albania Bosnia & Herzegovina Croatia Montenegro Serbia Slovenia Share of the basin (%) Share of the territory (%) Natural beauty High biological and landscape diversity (natural wetlands, parks, protected areas) 5 6

2 Large retention areas High potential for transport of cargo and passengers 7 8 High potential for tourism and recreation FASRB Key objective: Transboundary cooperation for sustainable development of the region Particular objectives: To establish an international regime of navigation To establish sustainable water management To prevent/limit hazards (floods, droughts, ice and accidents) and reduce/eliminate their negative consequences 9 10 FASRB Implementation coordinated by the ISRBC (BA, HR, RS, SI) Fields of work of the ISRBC Issues of sustainability: Improvement of water quality Protection of aquatic ecosystem Protection against the harmful effects of water (due to floods, ice, droughts, accidents) Development activities: Different kinds of water use (navigation, hydropower generation, water supply, sewerage and drainage, fishery, tourism and recreation) Broadest scope of work among European river commissions 11 12
