Sažetak
Cross-border cooperation as objective number 3 of cohesion policy for the programming period 2007-2013 plays a key role in promotion of Europeanisation, which is of special importance in the case of Central Europe, which is dominated by small national countries. Target areas of cross-border cooperation are NUTS 3 territorial units located along state borders. As creation, decision-making and implementation of projects are primarily carried out on regional level, the structures of territorial management play a decisive part from the perspective of cross-border cooperation. The paper is focused on IPA programme of cross-border cooperation Hungary-Croatia 2007-2013, whose target areas lack big urban centres and small and medium-sized towns make the framework of settlement network. The programme involves the countries that seemingly have similar structure of regional management. Croatia and Hungary are unitary states, where the counties on NUTS 3 regions represent central level of management. Despite similarities, the role and capacities of counties are different and they also changed over time. After presenting the premises of cross-border cooperation and short description of the cooperation programme, the paper will present the quantified analysis based on primary ex post data of the IPA programme of cross-border cooperation Hungary-Croatia for the period from 2007 to 2013. Analysis is conducted on LAU 2 level in order to show to which extent different categories in the settlement hierarchy contribute to activity of cooperation and absorption and to present their distribution between various types of user organisations.
