The Importance of the Neighbourhood Programme Romania – Ukraine 2004-2006. Borders represent the vertical planes that determine the territory of two neighbouring countries. In situ, the border becomes a space that includes the “border corridor” of 5 m out of each country’s territory and the 20-meter long border “security strip”. Border police exert their professional obligations in the “border zone”, stretching over 25-30 km along the borders, which is to say that the actual border is more complex than the “red line” drawn on maps. After two world wars, aimed at solving border problems, proved that imposing force is not the best option, there is a new tendency emerging in Western Europe to optimize cooperation across the borders through the association of regional or local entities, known as Euroregions. After the deep changes that took place in the early 90s in Eastern Europe countries, several Euroregions appeared across their borders. The European unification allotted significant funds for strengthening the cross-border cooperation at its eastern border. The present study aims at analyzing the present-day situation and the prospects of Romanian-Ukrainian cross-border relations, through the development Phare CBC projects.

Keywords: cross-border regions, barrier effect, cross-border interrelations, Phare CBC Programme, eastern E.U. border.
