Regional Development and Policy

In the case of EU countries, regions are defined as an independent component of the pan-European programme of spatial development (Council of Europe, 2000).Spatial management devotes much attention to the development of mountainous regions, considering their importance for ecological, economic, tourist and social security.The Carpathian Euroregion (CE) is a region in Central Europe along the Carpathian Mountains, which unites 19 borderline administrative divisions of five countries, namely, Ukraine: Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpattia and Chernivtsi regions (oblasts); Poland: Podkarpackie Voivodeship; Slovakia: Košice and Prešov regions; Hungary: Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hajdú-Bihar, Heves, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg counties; Romania: Bihor, Sălaj, Satu Mare, Maramureş, Harghita, Suceava and Botoşani counties.The Euroregion was established on February 14 th 1993, in the Hungarian city of Debrecen, where the ministers of foreign affairs signed the agreement.
