Abstract: Abstract After the collapse of Central Europe’s planned system and a period of rapid Western European integration, the formation of regional bodies is seen as an essential step towards creating appropriately sized geographical structures which create economic advantages. An example of this type of regional cooperation involves the concept of border regions. For geographers the question of border regions concerns the relationship between the ‘centre’ (core) and the ‘peripheries’ .1 But in recent decades Europe has seen so-called trans-border regions established, which have the purpose of reducing the ‘barrier effect’ of international boundaries between adjacent localities (communes/towns) along the border zone.
