Actually this area is crossed by a number of political, social, economic and cultural problems of complex and difficult solution. But all the Mediterranean-Black Sea citizens recognize indistinctively the need to solve the environmental menaces and those related to the sustainable development issues: in fact these ones involve both the southern and the northern river of the Mediterranean-Black Sea and are unequivocally linked to the common destine of the citizens living in these countries.
