Summary of project results

One of the identified problems related to the sustainable development of the region was the absence of cooperation with the Ukrainian border region. It was absolutely inadequate at the time of the project preparation. Institutional coverage, meaningful content, and elementary experience was missing. The submitted project application was intended to change that status. With the implementation of the project, we have achieved a significant improvement by building two official functional partnerships, a number of informal contacts between the citizens as well as representatives of cultural, public and entrepreneurial subjects. These are prerequisites for the use of existing human resources, natural values and the economic potential of both regions. Involvement of entities in official partnerships (number 12). Organization of initiatives aimed at better cooperation within two conferences (number 2) and ensuring people's participation in activities organized within the project (number 200).
