Abstract

Cooperation of the Nordic Region states is a natural continuation of collaboration between those countries known for centuries. Noteworthy are multiple institutions that formalize the cooperation as well as the principles and areas of it, always keeping in mind that “cooperation of the Nordic countries and their inhabitants, as well as migrations of the population within the Nordic states are integral part of the shared history of these countries.”
