Abstract

The cooperation of regional authorities in Europe is made possible via the existing international conventions and internal documents of the European Union. Studying the vicissitudes of the European regional cooperation from the Madrid Convention to the creation of a macro-regional approach, one cannot but notice the significant development of the concept of interregional relations. These relations have been evolving from the promotion and support cross-border cooperation by the Member States to its completion as the EU macro-regional concept elaborated with the participation of the regions and organisations acting on their behalf. Within the next few years it will turn out whether these concepts have in their entirety fulfilled their function and enhanced the internal EU cooperation.
