The first workshop in Bor

The project implementing green solutions to decontaminate polluted soil in Romania-Serbia cross-border areas, launched by Politehnica University Timisoara (Romania) and the Mining and Metallurgy Institute Bor (Serbia), financed in the framework of the Interreg-IPA Cross-border Cooperation Romania-Serbia Programme facilitates exchanges, workshops and activities aiming at “Forming of network for enhancing environmental protection from pollutants of mining cross border areas”.

The first workshop to take place was organized in Bor (Serbia). The project team members blended professional discussions with field research. Unlike Romania, where the mining areas are under conservation, around Bor the copper mines are still open to exploitation, thus making it necessary develop measures for preventing pollution with the specificity of active economic activities in the mines.
