You had me all excited there for a moment, but unfortunately, looking at the Danube Convention it seems thatALAMO wrote:Once the Russians will reach Transdnistria, they will control the Danube delta. The
The Danube is an exterritorial water artery that can be freely passed by any country in the river flow.
No country can block it.
That would mean water access to both Hungary and Serbia, for both Russian and other friendly traffic.
So Russia would still need to negotiate with NATO and EU member Romania to get free navigation access to Serbia if I understand correctly...better than the status quo for sure but no guarantee.Article 30 wrote:Navigation of the Danube by the naval vessels of any non-Danubian country shall be
prohibited.
The naval vessels of Danubian States may not navigate the Danube beyond the frontiers
of the respective countries whose flags they fly save by arrangement between the Danubian States
concerned.

In that case Russia will be in control of the Danube delta. Which means it will control the flow of goods from and into the river from the Black Sea.So Russia would still need to negotiate with NATO and EU member Romania to get free navigation access to Serbia if I understand correctly...better than the status quo for sure but no guarantee.

Good point! You are correct. There is indeed free navigation "for the nationals, vessels of commerce and goods of all States." (Article 1), while Article 30 refers solely to military vessels (and e.g. Article 28 to customs and other police vessels); the thing preventing Russian merchant ships from sailing up and down the Danube right now, then, is that they would need to cross into the territorial waters of Ukraine or Romania first, before entering the river. Grabbing Odessa oblast would fix that.ALAMO wrote:"Naval vessles" is a sole name of a military ship.

Yup, Article 27:ALAMO wrote:The only thing Romanians can potentially do is make obstacles of the custom nature - yet it is clearly stated into documents also.
So they can prevent unloading in Romanian ports, but not transit as per the Danube Convention.When both banks of the Danube belong to the same State, the latter shall have the right to
place goods in transit under seal or in charge of the customs officers. Such State shall also be
entitled to require the master or owner of a vessel to make a written declaration stating only
whether or not he is carrying goods the importation of which is prohibited by that State, but shall
not be entitled to prohibit the transit of such goods. These formalities shall not entail an
inspection of the cargo or delay its transit.
