The Tatra Euroregion – A New Quality in Polish-Slovak CooperationThe Tatra Euroregion is a non-governmental organization which has actively and professionally implemented various trans-frontier operations in the Polish- Slovak borderland for the last fifteen years. Since 1999, the Euroregion has managed European funds for the development of the Polish-Slovak borderland, enabling the implementation of the aims and goals for which it was established; they mainly include cooperation in social and cultural fields. This kind of cooperation is crucial for the borderland’s evolution. It provides an effective environment for economic growth and pro-ecological activities, which are still not sufficiently developed there. An important step in the modernization of the Tatra Euroregion is its strategy for 2008–2015. Plans for the near future include organizational transformation of the Euroregion into the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation.
