Cross Border Cooperation

Berlin – October 29, 2026 -- The EUstay project will produce ten multimedia content packages over the next 12 months, each covering one EU-funded Interreg cohesion project, and make them available free of charge to local media and stakeholders.

Each package contains four assets in six languages

Every package includes an editorial video for broadcast and online use, a short vertical clip for social media, a photo set for print, online and social channels, and a news feature. The feature draws on people who shape the projects or experience their effects. Content is produced in German, English, Danish, Dutch, French and Polish.

The packages target local media on both sides of EU internal borders and in member states, local Interreg secretariats, Interreg project leads, and communication teams of EU-funded projects and regional institutions.

Bishkek – September 20, 2026 -- Central Asia's first waste-to-energy incineration plant has begun cutting Bishkek's household waste stream by 1,000 tons a day, supplying 146 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually to the Kyrgyz grid and reducing carbon emissions by up to 100,000 tons a year.

Plant ends five decades of landfill overflow around Kyrgyzstan's capital

For decades Bishkek relied on a single municipal landfill that was expanded six times as the population grew, leaving residents to contend with accumulating garbage, odors and dust. The China-Kyrgyzstan waste treatment and power generation project, which began commercial operations at the end of 2025, was developed to address the deficit. The facility currently processes 1,000 tons of household waste daily against an overall planned capacity of 3,000 tons.
