The Sava River is the second largest tributary to the Danube River and is of biological significance due to its outstanding biological and landscape diversity. It hosts the largest complex of alluvial floodplain wetlands in the Danube basin and the largest lowland forests. The Sava is a unique example of a river where the floodplains are still intact, supporting both flood alleviation and biodiversity.

This part of the Sava Commission’s web-site is particularly dedicated to the Sava River Basin Management Plan (Sava RBMP). This micro-site has been created primarily for the purpose of the public consultation process on the draft Sava RBMP, and offered a possibility to the public to respond to the consultation online, and to learn how the comments provided are reflected in the Plan itself.
