Międzynarodowa aktywność województwa podlaskiego

Abstract

The article focuses on international and inter-regional activities of the Polish region of Podlaskie. It presents the statutory regulations concerning external relations of Polish local and regional authorities. With Poland being a unitary state, the article discusses practical aspects of conducting regional external co-operation in line with the principles of the state’s foreign policy. The authors outline the priorities of Podlaskie’s external activities, as adopted by the Regional Assembly (Sejmik), and provide an insight into selected examples of inter-regional co-operation.
