Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hahn today marked a historic moment as he crossed a new bridge connecting the Bulgarian region of Vidin to neighbouring and Calafat.

The bridge which is co-financed by the EU is only the second bridge along the countries’ 630 km border, demonstrating how the EU’s Danube Strategy is stepping up co-operation in the region.
