The EGTC’s main objective is to provide a platform and a framework for cooperation between actors from the South Pannonian region along the Drava and Sava rivers, which can be used as a platform for the exchange of experience and as a joint development opportunity using EU funds. In line with these objectives, their mission is to support the professional, political and social integration of these regions in Europe.
