An interesting story....

This little tidbit came across the wire today... turns out Czech Republic and Austria are going to redraw their borders a little bit.

There's about 60 acres of land on either side of the border the two countries want to swap, so that it's easier to control flooding. The Czech part is owned by three semi-independent state agencies (neither the article on the Czech side nor another article from ÖRF here says anything about who owns the Austrian part), and it appears that getting all the signatures on both sides of the border are mostly a formality. Still, while it's not so common to see European borders shift, we should keep in mind that anything can happen.
