Danube Day was proclaimed 20 years ago today and has been celebrated with various initiatives ever since. This year's motto "Keep the Danube Blue" calls on people living in the Danube basin to raise their awareness and be active in protecting the river and its tributaries.

Numerous concerts, exhibitions, competitions, environmental actions will be held on the occasion. 

In the village of Dolni Tsybar there will be a cycling ride to the Danube and a presentation of information about its historical importance. In Kozloduy, a fish festival will take place. In the village of Baikal they will throw a wreath with a message for a clean river. In Ruse an art event "On the banks of the River" will be held.

The Danube basin covers an area of 817,000 square metres, stretching across 19 European countries, the Ministry of Environment and Water  reminds. From the source to the delta, the river passes through Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine.
