Abstract

The Agreement concerns the delimitation of: (a) the boundary in the mouth area of the Mutludere/Rezovska River, which is established at the median line within the river bed/channel; (b) the maritime boundary in the Begendik/Rezovo Bay; (c) the lateral boundary of the territorial sea; (d) the boundary of the continental shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zone. For the purpose of creating conditions for the free flow of the water of the river into the Bay and avoiding floggings of the river bank areas, the Parties shall clear and refashion parts of the existing constructions in the mouth area of the river according to the provisions contained in Annex 1 to the Agreement. Any dispute between the Parties arising out of the interpretation or implementation of the Agreement shall be settled in accordance with Article 33 of the Charter of the United Nations. The Agreement is followed by five Annexes: Joint engineering project regarding the free outflow of the Mutludere/Rezovska River (1); Navigation regime in the common navigation sector in the Begendik/Rezovo Bay (2); Plan of the mouth area of the Mutludere/Rezovska River (3); Map of the Begendix/Rezovo Bay (4); Bulgarian maritime chart N 5001 (5A).
