Following a new regulation plan of the Croatian Ministry responsible for Water Management (MRDFWM) twelve concerned NGOs call upon the European Commission to finally STOP further Drava destruction.

Recently, the MRDFWM has issued an extensive plan for further regulation of 56 km of the lower course of the ecological important Drava River. According to the plan the natural river course should be fixed (by embankments, groins and by cutting off natural river banks) and the natural river dynamics of the lower Drava stopped.

This new attempt clearly indicates once again the ministries ongoing resistance to comply with EU environmental law and it is against the recent agreement of the new Croatian government to protect the Drava as a “Regional Park”.
