The paper highlights the cultural and legislative framework which favours the cross-border cooperation between the countries on the shores of the Adriatic Sea.

For this reason, the paper aims to highlight how the cooperation is the lens through which we can identify the territorial potential which, when amplified through comparison, will emerge more clearly.
