Adopting an alternative way of dealing with regional integration, SECI focuses on economic and environmental issues in order to support the development of the region. In the past its main areas of activity were Transport, Energy, Private Sector Development and Environment. For more information on the SECI initiatives and projects undertaken in the past within these areas of activity, click here.

2006 as the year in which SECI celebrated its 10th Anniversary and a decade of existence and activity within the SEE region, represented also an opportunity for reconsideration of its role and possible future contributions on its part to the already ongoing transformation and integration processes within the SEE Region. The impact made by the Stability Pact for SEE and the decision to transfer of its activities and initiatives in the ownership of the SEE countries and their leadership through a phasing-out process of the Stability Pact for SEE , as well as the establishment of the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) considerably modified the regional cooperation framework within the region of South-east Europe.

SECI is therefore currently focused on a number of more concrete activities continuing the work already undertaken in partnership with the former Stability Pact for SEE, Working Table II in the area of Danube cooperation and transport issues. SECI remains the anchor place for Danube cooperation matters and continues to promote closer cooperation among the Danube countries in the areas of infrastructure, navigation, culture a/o, within the framework of the Danube Cooperation Process (DCP) and pursues its further widening and deepening for the purpose of better implementation and follow-up of the regional priorities established within the DCP Indicative Work Programmes . 

Additionally, SECI continues its work on improving the situation of  inland waterways transport within the Danube River Basin and on strenghtening the copperation among the  various stakeholders in this this area, within its Partnership for the Improvement of Danube Infrastructure and Navigation (PIDIN), where it brings together at the same table, representatives from the private and the public sector.
