Geographic basis of euro region "Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza"

Abstract

Euroregion "Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza" is formed both to stimulate local development and to serve as an example for cooperation to other areas in SEE. This project considers Banat as united region in three countries. Some differences which exist in separate parts of Banat (Hungary, Romania, Serbia) are less problem than this whole area that has advantages for favourable conditions for cooperation. In regard to some geographic characteristics this three parts of Banat are more similar to each other than to their own states. That fact contributes interregional cooperation in SEE

Attitudes of the Local Population in Border Municipalities on Development of Sport-Event Tourism

“…Serbia's European Union integration processes influenced the "softening" of the borders providing the free flows of the people, goods, information and the capital, but also creating the favorable conditions for economic, political, cultural and other types of the state cooperations (Đorđević & Panić, 2004;Todorović & Tošić, 2006). The main idea of the concept of the "Euroregion," as a form of transregional connection of the European countries cross-border regions, is oriented on promotion of the common interests and living standards of the local population (Nađ et al, 2005). The process of normalization and improvement of the interstate relations between the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the transformation of Podrinje from the border region into the central zone of intensive development , started with the formation of the Euroregion "Drina-Sava-Majevica" (Todorović & Tošić, 2006;Tošić & Todorović, 2008).…”
