The Association was founded in 2019 as a platform for cooperation between
20 municipalities and towns plus 4 counties located along the border with the
Kaliningrad Oblast. We share a common territory — rich in nature, historically
complex, economically demanding — and shared public responsibilities that cannot
be carried out effectively alone.
“The borderland is not the periphery. It is where Poland meets Eastern Europe —
and that is precisely why it needs a strategy, not a template.”
The 2024–2030 territorial strategy sets out five shared areas:
roads and public transport, technical infrastructure, resilience and security
(the East Shield), depopulation, and public services.
