June 2008 --
The leaders or
representatives of nine South-East European countries pledged Friday at a United
Nations-organized meeting to use the region’s waterways to encourage greater
cultural understanding.
The
Athens Declaration, adopted by seven Heads of State and two high-level
representatives, emphasizes the importance of rivers, lakes and maritime routes
in contributing to regional cooperation.
“No
civilization and no culture is monolithic as both are the result of millennia of
contacts and exchanges,” according to the declaration, which was reached at a
summit in the Greek capital co-organized by the UN Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Albania,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia
and Turkey committed themselves to developing a pool of joint projects involving
the waterways to contribute to regional peace and stability.
