Abstract | The dynamic of the European political area, complicated and sometimes contradictory, determines the necessity of the trans-frontier cooperation, on a background of the tendency that some limitrophe regions associates in structures meant to facilitate the efficient capitalization of the area with all the aspects generatrix of functional territorial systems and subsystems and with a high level of systemically interface. Regarding the year 2008, in the European area, the Prut River remained a political barrier between two Romanian states, Romania and Moldavian Republic. The transfrontier cooperation of Euro-regional type represents a modality of vanishing the differences of structural-territorial and economical kind, that derives from the superposition of the eastern extern frontier route of the EU (from 2007) and NATO (from 2004) with Prut River. The Siret-Prut-Nistru Euroregion, created at the initiative of Romania in 2002, “covers” from the territorial and demographic point of view an important part in the Romanian ex-EU area, making in this way an optimal frame of interconnecting the two territorial state systems, toggled in different macro-territorial structures. The “Siret-Prut-Nistru” Euro-region can be considerate one with a remarkable functional potential, determined by the common peculiarity that has the human communities from those two associated political areas and of course, the European aspiration of both states. |
