Summary of the project part:  CESCI – Carpathia cooperates in the implementation of the project. Most of the professional tasks identified for the sake of legal accessibility are going to be carried out in the cooperation of CESCI and the CESCI Carpathia, but in addition, CESCI-Carpathia is going to be responsible for the following activities: the production of 5 short films; elaboration of a scientific proceedings; organisation of the kick-off conference; and contributing to the implementation of joint activities.

Benefits of the cooperation: The stronger integration of the Slovak-Hungarian border area and the intensification of cross-border interactions (mobility) necessitate the systematic monitoring, analysis and elimination of legal and administrative obstacles. This process is unimaginable without the coordinated cooperation of the actors on both sides of the border.

Introduction of the partnership: The project is implemented by the Budapest-based Central European Service for Cross-border Initiatives (CESCI) and the Košice-based Central European Services for Cross-border Initiatives – Carpathia (CESCI-Carpathia). Both organisations have been committed to supporting cross-border cooperation and eliminating cross-border legal obstacles for many years.
