Czech-Austrian projects to benefit from 3.5 million crown EU grant

The European Union has earmarked another 3.5 million crowns (a little under 150,000 US dollars) for Czech-Austrian projects involving towns, schools, organisations and civic associations in South Bohemia. Close to 90 such cultural, tourist, and educational projects have already been financed from a seven million crown donation. These include emergency workers' joint preparations for various catastrophes, as well as art and music festivals.
