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.
