European Common Future Building EGTC was legally established on 17 October 2012 with four members: three Hungarian municipalities and one Romanian municipality. The EGTC currently has eight members (five Hungarian and three Romanian municipalities) along the southern Hungarian-Romanian border. The territory of the EGTC includes the Orosháza and Mezőkovácsháza micro-regions in Hungary and the 20-km-wide micro-region around the city of Kürtös in Romania, where two member municipalities are situated.

Since 2012, the aim of the grouping has been to promote cross-border cooperation among its members and thus facilitate economic, social and regional cohesion. This is achieved by organising and managing joint events, meetings and projects. The grouping has applied for grants within the framework of the Interreg V-A Romania-Hungary programme. Members and their institutions have also applied for grants individually and with the help of the grouping; many applications have been successful. The aim of the grouping is to set up and successfully implement joint projects. Since its foundation, the EGTC has participated in various projects set up by the European Union.

One future goal of the EGTC is the establishment of a joint tourism management system, to showcase the whole region for tourists. This could be implemented through designing a website and developing a common marketing strategy.
