Sažetak
European Union (EU) represents an integration with valuable diversities, but there are areas with significant development constraints and specificities. Cohesion policy of the EU has recognized that territories with specific characteristics deserve tailored approach in policy making, which can also contribute to achieve higher cohesion. Scientific researches and expert analysis have confirmed the need to observe different territorial types in investigating territorial cohesion, one of the goals of the EU’s cohesion policy. The main aim of this study is to present the characteristics of the regions with geographical specificities, mountains, islands, outermost regions, sparsely populated areas in the EU, highlight their development constraints and potentials. The opportunities of the regions with geographical specificities are addressed and analysed in the framework of the territorial cohesion and support of the EU funds and reconsidered in accordance with the objectives of the EU cohesion policy in the new programming period. Even though geographic factors represent significant barriers, the observed regions have unique assets which can be used to realise better development results and territorial cohesion. The results of the study can be useful in choosing the appropriate approach to preserve territorial specificities and to strenghten its development potentials as advantages of the specific regional areas, as well as for the studies that analyse the contribution to the Territorial Agenda 2030. The paper also gives comments on the opportunities to achieve higher economic diversifications which can be important for the countries that mostly depend on several economic sectors and have underdeveloped potentials.
