Sud-Vest (development region)

Sud-Vest Oltenia (English "South-West Oltenia") is a development region in Romania. As the other development regions, it does not have any administrative powers, its main function being to co-ordinate regional development projects and manage funds from the European Union.
Sud-Vest Development Region is roughly coterminous with the historic region of Oltenia (82,4%), and for that reason it is sometimes called "Regiunea de dezvoltare Sud-Vest Oltenia". The Danube forms the natural boundary between Romania and Serbia to the southwest, and Bulgaria to the south.
