Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the phenomenon of Euroregions and cross-border co-operation in Ukraine, Republic of Moldova and Romania area in a comparative perspective with the Western European practice. It outlines the expected mission of the “Lower Danube” and “Upper Prut” Euroregions, their general features and particularities, achievements and shortcoming, experience and prospects. The study shows that although the “Lower Danube” and “Upper Prut” Euroregions did not prove to become selfsustainable structures and after 15 years of their existence reduced their activity, they should be given credit for the positive role in the revitalization of cross-border co-operation between the three neighboring states on the EU Eastern frontier.
