Summary/Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to identify the importance of the institutional framework of Ukraine’s relations with the EU for the development of cross-border cooperation between Slovakia and Ukraine. The primary aim is to identify the opportunities for cross-border cooperation that the Association Agreement offers in comparison with the previous contractual regime. In this text, we analyse the European integration process of Ukraine from the viewpoint of its impact on the development of bilateral relations of Slovakia with Ukraine on the intergovernmental level and for cross-border cooperation on the regional and local level. We focus on an analysis of those factors in EU-Ukraine relations that have an impact on the elimination of barriers and creation of better opportunities for the development of cooperation on the Slovak-Ukrainian border.
