EU Initiative to Clear Nazi Warship Wrecks from Danube Amid Low Water Levels

The European Union is undertaking a project to clear old Nazi warship wrecks from the Danube River, particularly near Prahovo, Serbia. These wrecks, remnants from World War II, were deliberately sunk by the German forces in 1944 to block the Red Army's advance. The project, supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Western Balkans Investment Framework, aims to remove 21 of the most obstructive wrecks by 2028. The initiative is part of a broader effort to improve navigation and reduce economic losses in the region, as the debris has been causing significant delays in freight transport, costing Serbia millions annually.
