Cieszyn Silesia Euroregion
euroregion between Poland and Czechia
Euroregion Cieszyn Silesia (Polish: Euroregion Śląsk Cieszyński, Czech: Euroregion Těšínské Slezsko) is one of the euroregions (transnational co-operation structures) between Poland and Czech Republic. It has area of 1,741.34 km2 and 658,224 inhabitants as of 2009. The largest cities are Jastrzębie-Zdrój from Polish side and Havířov from Czech side. It was established on 22 April 1998.
It comprises a large part of the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia:
in Poland: 12 municipalities of the Cieszyn County, 2 municipalities of the Bielsko County (Jaworze and Jasienica), 1 municipality in Wodzisław County (Godów) and Jastrzębie-Zdrój (however, the last two are not part of Cieszyn Silesia).
in the Czech Republic: 16 municipalities of the Karviná District and 27 municipalities in the eastern part of the Frýdek-Místek District.
Not the whole area of the historical Cieszyn Silesia region belongs to the euroregion, mainly Bielsko and Czechowice-Dziedzice and Frýdek with its surroundings, east of the Ostravice river, which belong to the Euroregion Beskydy.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cieszyn Silesia Euroregion” as euroregion between Poland and Czechia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as euroregion between Poland and Czechia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1378272. VIAF identifies the subject as 129502382. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009 and 1998.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
