The representatives of the three countries approved a Memorandum determining the next steps in the creation of the region at the "Tripoint Conference on 23–25 May 1991". In June 1991, a tripartite working group was created, which proposed a structure model which is the basis for the work to this day. The very founding of the Euroregion took place in
Zittau on 21 December 1991.[1] Since 2004, it has been headquartered in the most important city of the Euroregion,
Liberec. The Euroregion is represented in all three countries – in Zittau in Germany,
Jelenia Góra in Poland and Liberec in the Czech Republic (the chairman of the Euroregion is the governor of the
Liberec Region).[2][3][4]
