Summary/Abstract: Observing principle of the best interest of a child in matters of cross-border maintenance is the topic that deserves special attention for a number of reasons. The first of these relates to the principle itself, its abstract nature and merit which is determined in every individual case taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding that particular case. Other reasons concern the fact that the matter of cross-border maintenance of a child is extremely complicated and challenging, and is derived from a number of sources: national, international and European. Third set of reasons concerns child itself, his/her existence and well-being which is directly related to performing the obligation of maintenance. Authors will in this paper point to elements for assessment of the best interest of a child in matters of cross-border maintenance taking into account different international and European sources of law which govern this matter and taking note of the abstract character of the principle of the best interest of a child.
