Institute for Transfrontier Cooperation (ITC) was founded in Uzhgorod (Ukraine) in 2005. The newly established institution aimed at development and implementation of new approaches to analysis and management of transborder processes in peculiar geopolitical conditions set up in Europe in the aftermath of USSR collapse and the European Union enlargement to the East. The fi rst step of the ITC on this way was to develop a Concept of transborder cooperation at the new Eastern border of the EU. Then, based on aims laid out in it, next step was made – a paradigm of indexation and monitoring of transborder processes between East and West of Europe was proposed as a powerful tool for optimizing the whole set of transborder relations, increase of their effi ciency, prevention or minimization of effects of crisis situations and confl icts. The mentioned paradigm produced signifi cant interest in various areas of Europe, in particular in such respected structures as Norwegian Barents Secretariat and Prague Institute for Stability and Development. These and other institutions were involved in the joint work over new transborder cooperation methodology in the frameworks of the pan-European project “European border dialogue”. Results of the carried out work were a subject of discussion at the 1st European Forum on Transborder cooperation held in October 2010 in Uzhgorod (Ukraine) and Kosice (Slovakia). Today theoretical and practical work on indexation and monitoring of transborder processes is carried out in various segments of the border between East and West Europe – from Norwegian-Russian and Polish-Lithuanian- Russian sections in the North and Baltic to South-Western sections of the border of Ukraine with Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Poland in the Carpathians. Evidently, one can state that the movement on long-term monitoring development of transborder processes at the new Eastern border of the European Union has been initiated. Project of the ENPI Program Hungary - Slovakia – Romania – Ukraine “Borders for People” implemented by the Institute for Transfontier Cooperation jointly with partners – Institute of Social Sciences of the 5 Slovak Academy of Sciences (Kosice) and Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv) are part of this movement. In the frameworks of the project the methodology of indexation and monitoring of transborder processes will be for the fi rst time tested on a greater scale. S. Ustych Director of the Institute for Transfrontier Cooperation, Coordinator of project “Borders for People”, Editor in Chief of the collection 6 Welcome speech Ladies and Gentlemen! My name - Serhii Ustych. I am a project coordinator of the Project “Borders for people”, head of the organizational committee of our international conference. On behalf of the organizing committee I am glad to welcome the honorable participants and guests. Managers of the Project “Borders for people” with great pleasure want to announce that the forum attended by representatives of various structures from border regions. In particular, there are academicians, businessmen, NGOs’ leaders, representatives of the media and others. They are the people who have considerable experience in cross-border cooperation. The best of them will become experts of the project. We are proud that among us are veterans - the organizers of CBC in 90 years, those who forged bilateral ties, developed border infrastructure, creating the Carpathian Euroregion. We have to learn much from them. Very positive is the fact that the international conference attended by delegations of state authorities and local self-government from the regions participating in the project. This is the key to our common and effective cooperation. We are honored that the invitation to participate in the forum took my colleagues - the heads of diplomatic missions from all, I should underline that all participating countries. Among them are Consul General of Romania in Cher- nivtsi Mrs. Tetyana Popa, Consul General of Slovakia in Uzhgorod Ing. Marián Sládeček, Consul General of Hungary in Uzhgorod Mr. József Bacskai. Their participation is the evidence of great attention and interest of the governments of Romania, Slovakia and Hungary, as well as the European Union in general, to the successful development of good neighborhood relations with Ukraine. So once again welcome all! S. Ustych, director of the Institute
