We consider it important to provide opportunities for the urban-rural cooperation. The demarcation of is based on the programming period The definition of rural areas ( ): Settlements with less than (3007 settlements with 3,97 million inhabitants, km2) Population density with less than 120 inhabitants/km2 (another 35 settlements with million inhabitants, 7007 km2) Settlements which would be excluded based on these criteria, but the inhabitants of its periphery is more than 2% (only with the periphery).
