The project "Organising Thematic Tourism Programmes in the Körös Valley" was implemented under the Hungary-Romania Cross-Border Co-operation Programme 2007-2013 (www.huro-cbc.eu), and is part-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, Hungary and Romania. The programme aims to bring the
different actors – people, economic actors and communities – closer to each other, in order to better
exploit opportunities offered by the joint development of the border area. |

Middle-Békés Center covers the regional development sub-centre which is founded on the close cooperation of the towns of Békéscsaba, Gyula and Békés. As a model-region, the sub-centre together with its micro regions aims to give an example of organizing a quasi-metropolitan area with more than 170,000 inhabitants, creating a new type of rural-city relationship, promoting and institutionalizing the cross-border co-operation of medium-size towns both in Hungary and in Europe. 
The basis of the institutionalized cooperation is the municipal association (the Middle-Békés Territorial Development Municipal Association), founded by the three towns originally in 1997, but set in motion in September 2005, when programming for the period EU financial period of 2007-2013 began. The Middle-Békés Territorial Development Municipal Association (Békéscsaba, Gyula and Békés towns, or shortly Middle-Békés Center, KBC) created a Development Agency as a working organization with the goal to prepare and manage common development projects for the three towns and the connected micro regions. The program is carried out within the framework of the Hungary-Romania and Hungary-Serbia and Montenegro Cross-Border Cooperation Program, with co-financing by the European Union and the Republic of Hungary. With the financing granted by the project, the KBC-Arad Development Agency accomplishes tasks in generating and developingprojects in various fields.
