The Moravian-Silesian region is located in the most eastern part of the Czech Republic. From Prague city centre its about 300 km as the crow flies. By converting this figure to a transportation time, it is only 1 hour by air, 3 hours by rail and 4 hours by road. If we perceive the region supra-regionally, its position is very conveniently on the border of three countries almost in the centre of the European area. If you look at the whole of Europe, the region is situated between the Austrian Vienna,Polish Hornoslezskou agglomeration and Slovak Bratislava. Power of this position throughout the region is further emphasized by the regional participants trying to link some of the activities of Moravian-Silesian region, Žilina Autonomous Region and Województwa Śląskiego in certain activities with a view of creating significant territorial centres in the European perspective.
