Working Community of Cantons, Provinces, Counties, Regions and Republics of East Alpine Region or The Alps-Adriatic Working Group (Croatian: Radna zajednica Alpe-Jadran; German: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Alpen-Adria; Hungarian: Alpok–Adria Munkaközösség; Italian: Comunità di lavoro Alpe Adria; Slovene: Delovna skupnost Alpe-Jadran) is an international organization that promotes co-operation between the states of the Eastern Alps and the Northern Adriatic region in the field of tourism, environmental protection, culture, science, politics, economy and European integration.[2] The initiative to establish the group came from Italy and the body was founded in Venice in 1978.[3] It initially served as a common forum for subnational units of Austria, Italy and Yugoslavia.[3]
