Abstract

The paper is analyzing the contemporary processes inside border areas. Due to different political destinies trough near past, the distinct border sectors developed various types of borderlands: mainly open and structurally asymetric in the west and north and close-like and symetric on the east. The border toward Croatia is the youngest and therefore still in turbulent accomodation to the border situations. The paper take special attention to recent spatial processes: from close and rich crossborder
cooperation to ignorance or abandonding of planning measures and avoidance. Second main attention is taken to the minorities settled inside borderlends and their influence to borderlands.
