Conclusion

While still very recent, cooperation between Görlitz and Zgorzelec seems to function well. This understanding arises principally from the small size and close proximity of the two towns.

However, the players involved note numerous obstacles (language, mentality, economic disparities, incompatibility of the legal systems, etc.) that could hinder a full integration of the Europastadt in a territory project.
