We invite you to celebrate European Cooperation Day 2019 together in Pskov, Salaspils and Saint Petersburg. We decided to concentrate on environment this year because this is something that has an outspoken cross-border character. Environmental issues are not geographically bounded and sustainable development can only be achieved jointly!
