| Popis | In terms of the size and shape of the Slovak territory, cross-border cooperation is an important opportunity for local development in the socio-economic area. Its impact on economic local and regional development cannot be questioned. The cooperation of municipalities on the Polish - Slovak border has deep historical roots. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the activities of cross - border cooperation on the Polish - Slovak border and also to identify barriers to such cooperation from the point of view of individual actors in the territory. The collection of input data was carried out through a survey. The respondents were entities on both sides of the border from the areas of social and economic life - local self-governments, state administration bodies, non-governmental organizations and some business entities. The results of the survey showed that a wide range of cross-border activities are implemented in the analyzed area, from traditional cultural and sporting events to activities related to education or the submission of joint projects. The actors in the territory identified mainly economic and legislative barriers to the development of cross-border cooperation. And within them, insufficient financial support or non-harmonized laws and regulations concerning cross - border cooperation |
