Summary/Abstract: Transborder cooperation is an important factor in establishing stable relations between regions and countries in Europe. The development of this type of cooperation depends largely on the formal and legal possibilities for regions and local communities to undertake initiatives on a scale that goes beyond their borders. The unity of Europe and maintaining peace within its boundaries will considerably depend on good and friendly international contacts, including transborder ones. That is why close attention should be paid to the significance of border regions in the development of Poland and Germany. The article presentsthe results of questionnaire surveys on the factors and barriers of transborder cooperation, carriedout among units of local government in the Gorzów subregion.
