EU funded projects - Territorial Cooperation
The European Union (EU) aims to foster cooperation between regions and countries to boost economic and social development. This cooperation helps tackle challenges posed by borders, whether they are within the EU or external. Interreg is a key programme that supports this mission. It focuses on making the EU more cohesive internally while also improving relations with neighbouring countries.
