ABOUT US
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the website of the Central European Service for Cross-Border Initiatives. Our organisation was formed in 2009 with the aim to provide professional support for the institutional and project development plans of cross border cooperation in amongst the changed conditions resulting from the expansion of the European Union, the elimination of internal borders and the EGTC Regulation. The organisation, which is registered as an association, considers the Paris based Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière (MOT) an exemplary ally of the players participating in cross border cooperation, and wishes to implement its development in a strategic partnership with the MOT. The English name of the association: Central European Service for Cross-Border Initiatives (CESCI). Our objective is to succeed in developing a professional network in Central and Eastern Europe within the framework of CESCI; such as EUROMOT in Western-Europe. Through developing CESCI we would like to strengthen solidarity between the new member states and at the same time to develop a professional network covering the entire continent.
I hope to also welcome you amongst our members in the near future.
Dr Szilveszter Vizi E.
Honorary President
Former President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
OUR SERVICES
CESCI provides professional help primarily for EGTCs to be formed along the Hungarian borders. The EGTC (European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation) is a new EU legal tool, which makes the Euroregions similar to cross border counties, as the EGTC is considered by both countries as having independent legal personality and is entitled to employ it own workforce and to create institutions and enterprises with a cross border nature.
moreOUR OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of CESCI:
- providing professional support for cross border cooperation along the Hungarian borders as well as in several other states of Central and South-eastern Europe
- incorporating the Euroregions, the EGTCs and the local and regional authorities participating in the cross border cooperation into a network
- promoting good examples from Western European initiatives
- establishing strategic cooperation with the competent decision making and decision preparing institutes of the European Union as well as with Northern and Western European networks created with the same purpose
- strengthening the internal cohesion and mutual rapprochement within the region by establishing partnerships between the nations of Central and Southern Europe.
