Cross-border network between Hungary and Slovakia • Miskolc and Kassa (Kosice) are the center of the two regions. • Miskolc is more embedded than Kosice, it has connections with larger cities and villages on the other side of the border. • Kosice has connections only with similar-sizedcities. • We can see strong co-operation through the border between smaller villages. • The villages on the Slovakian side has significant Hungarian population – it supports co-operation
Cross-border network between Hungary and Ukraine • Nyíregyháza is the Hungarian center of the region, but there is no center on the Ukranian side. • We see cross-border relations between cities, no village appearsin the network. Ukraine isn’t a member of the Schengen area, so the citizens of Ukraine has to apply for visa before entering Slovakia or Hungary. (60€ for three months)
