Abstract. One of the successful approaches to the realization of the European integration policy is the regional approach. This article reviews some aspects of Bulgaria's regional policy in the context of the European pre-accession strategies. Special attention is paid to those segments in the construction of the regional strategy for cross-border co-operation, which forms the competitiveness of the  region. As the  resources of the region, they will form its identity, its advantages and disadvantages, and to a great extent will predetermine its future development.
