1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. SEE River project

Project „Sustainable Integrated Management of International River Corridors in SEE Countries“ began

in October 2012. Project duration is two years. The project is being implemented throughout a

partnership that includes 26 different relevant institutions from water management sectors from 11

countries in South‐eastern Europe.

The main objective of the project is to empower the multi‐sectoral stakeholders sharing the territory

of an international river corridor to gain knowledge on planning and implementing processes for

integration of existing sectoral policies, plans and programmes in order to reach consensus on

integrative management of international river corridors, taking into account both the development

and the conservation interests.

The specific objectives are:

‐ to develop a common approach for establishing a common framework for integrated management

of international river corridors;

‐ to apply mentioned common approach to international Drava River Corridor;

‐ to implement internationally agreed measures from the Drava River Framework on five pilot sites in

five Drava riparian countries;

‐ to improve the international and inter‐sectoral cooperation of existing committees responsible for

management of the international river corridors, by including them in the process of the

development of the Framework for integrated management of international river corridors;

‐ to assist in the implementation of the relevant EU Directives, in particular the Water Framework

Directive, the Flood Directive, the Habitats Directive, the Birds Directive and the Directive on

renewable energy sources;

‐ to increase the capacity and raise awareness of the stakeholders along the international river

corridors of the importance of cross‐border and cross‐sectoral approach on sustainable integrated

management of river corridors through the organization of workshops to strengthen the capacity of

the administration.

1.2. Drava River Vision

Drava River Declaration – Drava Vision was based on an international symposium "Vision of the

Drava River," which was held in September 2008 in Maribor, Slovenia. It was attended by

representatives of water management and nature conservation, educational institutions and non‐

governmental organizations from the countries in the basin of the Drava River ‐ Italy, Austria,

Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary who brought 10 goals that have become priorities for future

development.

1. To promote Drava River as a model of internationally integrated implementation of EU

policies on water and nature protection

3

2. To improve flood protection by improving of warning systems for floods and increased

exchange of information

3. To improve flood preservation and restoration of retention areas along the Drava River

4. To continue with the restoration of the Drava River

5. To maintain and further develop the Drava River as a "ecological spine"

6. To restore ecological connectivity of the Drava River for fish migration

7. To establish the Drava River as a transboundary recreation area

8. To exploit the possibilities of the Drava River as a link of various nations

9. To implement integrated river basin management, and not fragmented sectoral measures

10. To pursue further development of the area along the Drava River in partnership with local

residents

1.3. Drava River Framework

As a main result, the SEE River project will prepare the so‐called Drava River Framework, which shall

include:

The analysis of the international Drava River Framework

The identifications of objectives of future management of the Drava River Corridor

The list of measures and concrete actions to achieve these objectives.

The Drava River Framework shall give the basis for the future integrative cross‐border and

transboundary management of the Drava River corridor.

In the next table, the combined structure of the Drava River Framework is illustrated, together with

the clarification of each part:

1.4. Stakeholders Agreement

The stakeholders agreement is the basis for future cooperation and development of the Drava River

Corridor area in Koprivnica‐Križevci County. Establishment of a stakeholders network who actively

participated in the SEE River project and contributed to the achievement of the objectives led to the

possibility for further cooperation. The purpose of this agreement is to continue with cooperation,

but, most importantly, to begin with a permanent inter‐sectoral or integrated management of the

Drava River Corridor.

2. METODOLOGY

The basis for the work on this project was the analysis of the Drava River Corridor in Croatia. Once

we have gathered all available data and carried out the detailed analysis, national and three local

workshops were organized. Based on the presentations of experts, questionnaires, meetings,

individual interviews, international workshops, seminars and a significant amount of data and ideas

received from our stakeholders, action plans were made and guidelines for the development of the

concept of the Spatial Plan of the Drava River were gained. Collaboration and communication with

stakeholders was also improved. Results of the project were promoted through a multimedia

approach.

3. STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED

During the implementation of this project, extremely important was the involvement of stakeholders

from different levels. Functional network of stakeholders from regional and local levels was

successfully established. Stakeholders from the water management, nature conservation, forest

management, energy sector, sector of protection and rescue as well as stakeholders from various

NGOs and organizations attended the workshops. In the SEE River project, extremely important

were local stakeholders such as representatives of municipalities along the Drava River,

representatives of associations of anglers, tourism associations, farmers and other important

associations that deal with the preservation and promotion of the Drava River.

4. USERS AND DISSEMINATION

One of the main results SEE River project in Croatia, is going to be a concept of the Spatial Plan of the

Drava River. This plan will be used as a basis for planning and management of the river corridor area.

In addition, we will collect important data that will be used in the development of other spatial plans

of municipalities along the Drava River and the new Spatial Plan of Koprivnica‐Križevci County and

other urban planning documentation. Spatial planners, Koprivnica‐Križevci County, municipalities,

sectors or institutions dealing with water management, nature protection, tourism and other

activities related to the Drava River will use the results of the project. Also, the collected data will be

used in cross‐border cooperation of Croatia and Hungary. Through a created network of

stakeholders, information about the Drava River will be shared in the future.

5. BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF SPATIAL PLANS

In accordance to the new Law on Spatial Planning (Official Gazette No. 153/13), the preparation of

the Strategy of Spatial Planning of the Republic of Croatia and the National Spatial Development Plan

has begun. In accordance to the new Law on Spatial Planning (Official Gazette No. 153/13), the new

Spatial Plan of Koprivnica‐Križevci County cannot be carried out before the effective date of the State

Plan for urban development. The legal deadline for establishing of the National Plan for spatial

development is 31st December 2015. Spatial plan of areas of special features is mandatory for the

National Park and Nature Park by a special law, and for certain areas of the State's Plan of

development.

Spatial plan of areas of special features provides:

1. measures for the improvement and protection of nature, environment, cultural property and

other assets of the area,

2. terms of the implementation of planned interventions in the area that are not listed in the

urban plan,

3. guidelines for preparing of urban plans.

Spatial plan of areas of special features includes:

1. basic organization and delineation of space by application areas, including the construction

zone of settlements and isolated part of the construction zone if one exists,

2. deployment of functions of importance for the area management,

3. system of infrastructure and constructions of public purpose,

4. measures of use, planning and protection of the area with priority activities.

8

Within this project, input data were collected, spatial analysis was made and basic guidelines and

measures for the development of the Spatial Plan of the Drava River and the Regional Park Mura‐

Drava in the Koprivnica‐Križevci County were obtained. These data will be used in development of

amendments of spatial plans of the municipalities in the area. Spatial plans are subject to change

and / or amend and abrogate even before the adoption of new spatial planning documents under the

new Act within a period of five years or up to 31st December 2018.

6. ACTION PLAN

Based on the collected data on three local and one national workshop that took place during the

previous phase of the SEE River project, 14 action plans that represent future projects that will be

implemented in the area of the Drava River Corridor were created.

Due to the lack of the centre for promotion of ecology, nature conservation, of the

Drava River and accommodations along the Drava River in the Koprivnica‐Križevci

County it is necessary to build such a centre. Location has not yet been determined.

There are two possibilities: near the mouth of the Mura River into the Drava River in

Legrad Municipality or near Ješkovo in the Gola Municipality. The centre could

conduct activities such as guided tours of the Drava River, exhibitions, education of

schoolchildren and young people, schools in nature, seminars and various workshops.

The possibility of building of accommodation facilities and research stations within

the centre should be considered.

Given that the Drava River area is of great importance because of the preserved

nature, there is a need for the construction of infrastructure in the area along the

Drava River for education of children, young people, and visits of specific groups

(scientists, nature lovers, etc.). There is a need for building of watchtower equipped

with durbin at several places along the Drava River, for construction of several

educational paths and equipping them with the necessary infrastructure: info boards,

bridges for crossing impassable parts, benches etc. In addition, for the same purpose

it is necessary to mark the attraction on the Drava River with boards containing

different information. Realization of cross‐border cooperation with neighbouring

Hungary and neighbouring counties is also possible.

These backwaters are significant because of their bio‐ecological, hydrobiologic,

landscape and aesthetic values. Lake Ješkovo is home to several indigenous species

of fish, large numbers of wading birds, amphibians and mammals. Osredek and

oxbow lake in Đelekovec are also significant because of the diverse flora and fauna.

Čambina is well preserved marine ecosystem in the shape of a horseshoe. The

surrounding area contains a large number of natural, hydrobiologic, ecological and

aesthetic values of microhabitats. Connection of these backwaters to the Drava River

and their revitalization would lead to an increase in retention areas and

improvement of flood protection by enabling the retention of large amounts of water

in the area at the time of high water and flooding.

The Drava River as an extremely attractive area that provides many opportunities for

the tourism development. However, tourism development must be consistent with

the protection of nature and the specific characteristics of the area. Tourism

activities should be carried out only in areas that will be allowed (by the SINP, after

research). In the area along the Drava River, possible is development of equestrian,

fishing, spa, rural tourism, but also other types of "soft" tourism. The overall

development of tourism should be based on the brand of the Regional Park Mura‐

Drava and Biosphere Reserve Mura‐Drava‐Danube as well as on local products,

traditions and cultural values. It is very important to take advantage of the possibility

of cross‐border cooperation with Hungary.
