bucharest danube canal

The Romanian Government is seeking funds worth EUR350 million to complete works at the Bucharest-Danube navigable canal, which might come from EU funds as well as from the state budget, Prime Minister Emil Boc said Thursday.

The canal linking Danube river and Romania’s capital city Bucharest might cost around EUR500 million, but its exact value will be established after the completion of the feasibility study, Ovidiu Cupsa, general manager of the national navigable canals authority ACN, said Thursday.
