Abstract

After the enlargement of the European Union in 2004, the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation became surrounded by the EU member countries. In order to decrease the danger of creating new barriers and divisions, the Union and Russia seek to remove the obstacles for free movement and transition of people and goods between Kaliningrad and Russia itself, as well as to ensure cross-border cooperation between Kaliningrad region and the EU member countries. For its specific geographic position, Kaliningrad has become mutual responsibility of the Union and Russia, and its status directly depends upon mutual relations between these two parties.
