The Banat region lies at the nexus of present-day Serbia, Romania and Hungary
The trans-boundary area has strong historical and cultural connections, and contains similar resources and land use patterns. The area on both sides of the border is largely rural and agricultural, facing problems of high unemployment but rich in biological diversity and potential for sustainable development, including organic production and eco-tourism.
