Abstract: Euroregions are an important and quite popular mechanism of cross-border cooperation. The character of institutional development differs principally between three groups of states that use this mechanism: old members of the European Union; new members of the European Union (entered the EU after 2003); and CIS members. This comparative research is concerned with the main circumstances of Euroregions development in the three areas noted above. The analyses show the fundamental differences between three Euroregion cases: Oresund, Pskov-Livonia, and Dnieper. The noticeable differences are found in legislative, finance, and cooperation issues, but also in the creation of the four basic Euroregions principles. At the same time, after fifteen years of copying the Euroregions, post-soviet countries have seen positive shifts occur in CIS members’ government perception and in the decision making process.
