“…The element of border area is especially present where there are national minorities, and in Europe border areas with such characteristics are more the rule than exceptions. This is why it is possible to observe a marked predisposition for greater cross-border integration in all those Slovene border areas where members of autochthonous minorities or immigrant communities from the neighbouring areas populate at least one side of the border (Bufon, 2002b(Bufon, , 2003b. This potential can then more or less effectively be modified by different territorial and regional orientations of these communities, which originate in the persistence and permeability of individual border sections, and also by the different degree of protection and development of minority communities in the respective state systems.…”

The European continent, the motherland of nationalism, and the part of the world where political borders and different territorial and cultural identities are mostly interrelated, is now facing new challenges regarding how best to represent its numerous interests within one system. With the increase of international integration European countries began to devote greater attention to the development problems of their border areas that had to be helped to undertake certain functions in the international integration process. The fostering of a more balanced regional development also resulted in a strengthening of regional characteristics, which the new model could no longer ignore. Regional characteristics in turn have always been preserved in Europe by persistent historical and cultural elements of ethnic and linguistic variety. Therefore, it is not surprising that the process of European integration based on the new regional development model was accompanied by a parallel process of ethnic or regional awakening of minorities and other local communities. The key question for contemporary European (though of course this is not limited to Europe) political geography is, then, how the process summarised under the twin labels of social convergence and deterritorialisation will effect the persistent maintenance of regional identities and the corresponding divergence of regional spaces. Or, in other words: is the 'unity in diversity' European programme ever practicable and exportable on a world-wide scale or are we to be absorbed by a new global 'melting pot'?

“…Glede tega, kot tudi zaradi političnih, ekonomskih in kulturni razlik, je zgornjejadranska regija nekaj posebnega. Bufon (2002) jo je opredelil kot poseben stični prostor različnih kulturnih in političnih entitet na periferiji Evropske unije (EU), ki je lahko model za druge regije v EU. Pregled geopolitičnih, kulturnih, družbenih in ekonomskih razlik v regiji najdemo v Bufon in Minghi (2000) ter Bufon (2002).…”

“…Danes lahko obravnavamo zgornjejadransko obmejno območje kot veliko bolj ekonomsko in družbeno povezan prostor kot v preteklosti (Bufon, 2002(Bufon, , 2013. Posebnost te regije se kaže -poleg drugih druž-benih, kulturnih in gospodarskih posebnosti -tudi v načinu odločanja letalskih potnikov o letališču odhoda ter v velikosti in homogenosti tržnih območij letališč v regiji.…”

“…in the 1970s the import of oil and oil derivatives increased, and container transport gained in importance in the 1980s, when transitory transport to Austria had strengthened. The latter had concluded a preferential agreement with the port in Trieste, however, the port in Koper/capodistria gained in importance in central Europe mostly due to competitive prices and better reliability of delivery (Bufon 2003).…”
