Abstract: The paper deals with border regions in Poland, which are regarded as a specific type of peripheral areas. The aim of this paper was to assess the Polish-Czech and Polish-Slovak border cooperation at the local level and to compare it to the Polish- German border. The studies were based on the analysis of the microprojects qualified for implementation under the Microprojects Fund within INTERREG IIIA programmes. Particular emphasis was put on the type characteristic of the projects and institutional structure of beneficiaries. Moreover, the relationships between analysed features were studied. The spatial distribution of projects was also examined. The role of Euroregions in the process of cross-border co-operation implementation was described. The analysis of the microprojects was carried out for the Poland’s southern border and the western one, as well as for particular Euroregions.
