In the circumstances of existing tendencies towards integration within uniting Europe, it is necessary to surmount mental stereotypes, which, from the historical point of view, have perceived borders and border zones as the areas of potential conflict, battlefield or buffer-zone, where all more significant investments are exposed to possible risk. Surpassing this legacy of the past is relevant also in the case of the Slovak-Ukrainian border zone, which though having a real potential is stigmatized by the phenomenon of periphery and border zone. The realized research, which is the subject of the study, assesses a current state of cross-border cooperation between the Slovak Republic and Ukraine and exposes its positives and at the same time also deficiencies, which are reflected by its participants.

Within the removing barriers and improving the neighbouring relationships of the Slovak Republic and Ukraine, the research of crossing the borders was carried out. This research was focused on border points Vyšné Nemecké and Ubľa. Data for this research was collected from August 2016 to October 2016. The findings were related to the travelling aim, demographic data, time limits for crossing the Slovak-Ukrainian border, satisfaction with border guards and customs officers, as well as to the state of border crossing points Vyšné Nemecké and Ubľa. Passengers suggested the ways and the means how to accelerate border procedures that would shorten waiting time and would improve the work of border guards and custom officers. The work and activity of Slovak border guards and customs officers was positively assessed. On the other hand, the job of Ukrainian border guards and customs officers was more criticized when comparing to Slovakia. Concrete suggestions for improvement of this activity are made at the end of the study.

The currently developing cross-border cooperation among the regions of Eastern Slovakia and Transcarpathia – part of the European Union’s strategy (“Europe 2020”) – can benefit from their common historic and cultural heritage. The general reference is to the impressive histories and the uncommonly complicated destinies of the regions’ individuals and their entire societies. Both phenomena have to be viewed in the geopolitical and historical context of (the often idealized) Middle Europe as a macro-region whose core was formed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries. Eastern Slovakia and Carpathian Ruthenia in their positions as a region (or regions) of the Middle European Habsburg Empire often lagged behind economically and societally compared to the West; they struggled with the religious and ethnic plurality, or more precisely, were intolerant of them. Their dramatic destinies were characterized by an uncertain statehood (unstable statehood coordinates), by their distrust against the political and religious elites; they could not fulfil their role as a barrier against the dangers from the East – Eastern Orthodox Russia and Muslim Ottomans.

People are attributing specific meanings to individual places (regions) by their activity and thus they are visualizing their life ideas. In this way genius loci (genius regionis) is developed in human consciousness. This social value of the landscape, generated by the generational accumulation of human experience, forms the central part of the potential of places and regions. It is well known that the activation of the socio-economic potential of the country, including genius loci (genius regionis), contributes even to the development of cross-border cooperation. An example may be the fact that (after more than one hundred years) a genius locus of the Eastern Front of the World War I has become the generator of the development of cross-border cooperation in the Slovak-Polish-Ukrainian region.

The contemporary socioeconomic upheavals push societies to make a new link between the local situations and the global situations without crossing by the stage formerly necessary of the national. There are two spatial dimensions that we find perfectly in the border zones at the same time limit space in the world of States but opening space in the globalized system. Africa is a continent where the border spaces play this economic and social role more than politics. Can the socioeconomic activity carry politics? The recomposition of the cross-border public action essentially in the field of the town and country planning could be the federative element missing to the cross-border territorialization, and, more, the transformation of the State.
