Yes, the European Commission gave a green light to start construction of one of the lanes of the Struma Motorway outside Kresna Gorge. BUT only if it doesn't obstruct a second lane outside... which means #Bulgaria has to start a new EIA.

The Corridor Vc motorway in #BIH is planned right through people's houses in Visit Konjic and the route cannot be changed according to authorities! A second case like the Kresna Gorge in #Bulgaria with money from The EBRD and European Investment Bank? The Struma motorway should have been ready in 2004 :)

How would you explain that the Eurasian Development Bank (Russian money), the World Bank, the EIB, the ADB, the AIIC are together trying to fund this damaging project? WorldBank European Investment Bank Asian Development Bank

#RestoreNature on #EarthDay2024

Today is the moment of truth for the Nature Restoration Law! 🤞 We call on Member States to support the long-awaited #RestoreNature law! Watch #ENVI Council live from 9:45: video.consilium.europa.eu/event/en/27518

Buena intervención del Gobierno de España en el Consejo de Medio Ambiente ¿Cómo afectaría a la credibilidad de las instituciones europeas que el Consejo deje caer el Reglamento de Restauración en el último trámite después de 2 años de trabajo? #RestoreNature

Law to #RestoreNature approved! So happy Bulgaria voted in favour! It was a decisive vote!

The Nikopol-Turnu Magurele dam is not only dangerous, it is insane! Not only 280 km of the Danube would be submerged, but thousands of people would need to be displaced including half Nikopol! CEE Bankwatch Network International Rivers WWF EU Borislav Sandov Ulrich Eichelmann European Parliament

Unbelievable that the European Commission has prioritised the dinosaurial Turnu Magurele - Nikopol hydropower project on the Danube as a priority cross-border renewable energy project. The European Parliament and EU Council must step in and object. euractiv.com/section/politi…

The most important rivers in the Balkans should be Emerald sites. See you at the Bern Convention meeting in December!

#EmeraldForRivers🌿 We call on Bosnia and Herzegovina to commit to expanding the Emerald Network and safeguarding its rivers for future generations. The Bosna river is a vital resource with unique biodiversity that needs protection now.

At the #BernConvention meeting, thankful for more support from the Council of Europe and hoping for important decisions for European nature this week (#EmeraldForRivers; the wolf; cases: Vjosa, Kresna, Mavrovo, Ohrid, Amulsar, Neretva...). The agenda: coe.int/en/web/bern-co…

I truly believe in the #BernConvention and hope the third and forth photo are not a preparation for the downlisting of the wolf. There are much more important work to do and political decisions at the European Commission should not spoil our nature-conservation work at the convention

The #BernConvention decision on listing the wolf as 'protected'. After this the Norwegian and Swiss case files for culling of wolf were opened! And a new working group created because wolf downlisting was without 'evidence based mechanism'. No free wolf hunting will be allowed!

This is a crucial decision. Rivers like the Vjosa, Drin, Neretva, Morača, Vardar, Danube support numerous endangered species and are vital for the livelihoods of local communities. They should be the backbone of the European network of protected sites. #EmeraldForRivers Council of Europe
