The Danube River Protection Convention was signed on 29 June 1994 in Sofia. The document is a strategic foundation in international cooperation for the protection and sustainable use of the Danube. The purpose of this celebration is to draw attention on the significance and conservation of one of the most significant European rivers and its tributaries.

The control of the entire river traffic in the Bulgarian section of the Danube is focused in the RIS Center Ruse, which is the first of its kind in Europe. Operated by BPI Co., the center provides a complete picture of the navigation situation in the Bulgarian section of the Danube. This, on one hand, helps the safer operation of the shipowners, and on the other – it facilitates the exercising of control by the relevant institutions
