An Interreg III B - CADSES project

CADSES (Central, Adriatic, Danubian and South-Eastern European Space) belongs to the B strand of the Community Initiative Interreg III, addressing trans-european cooperation on a transnational level, whereas the cornerstone of strands A and C are cross-border cooperation and transregional cooperation respectively. CADSES aims at achieving higher territorial and economic integration within the co-operation area, promoting more balanced and harmonious development of the European space.

The CADSES Programme is, among the 13 transnational co-operation areas in Europe, the largest and most complex area. From the coasts of the Baltic Sea, through the mountains of the Central Europe and the Hungarian plains, through the Austrian and Slovenian alpine landscapes, CADSES stretches down to western Italy and Greece, thus grouping the Balkan regions, including Moldova and part of Ukraine. The CADSES area comprises regions belonging to 19 countries : 9 of them are EU-Member States (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovak Republic and Slovenia) and 10 are Non-EU-Member states (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Republic of Moldova, Romania and Ukraine).
