The paper focuses on the examination of the existing institutional mechanisms, which implies a consideration of the structure and role of institutions and agreements that regulate Slovak-Ukrainian cross-border cooperation and the assessment of the effectiveness of the institutional framework and their impact on the development of cooperation between the regions. Another objective is to study the challenges of identifying key problems and obstacles of an institutional nature that can inhibit the development of cross-border cooperation, and to consider possible ways of overcoming the institutional ones. The research was conducted with the use of the method of analysing the normative-legal basis of bilateral cross-border relations at the national, regional, and local levels. The paper describes the challenges and prospects of cross-border cooperation providing some recommendations on institutional changes for the improvement of cooperation through implementing joint cross-border projects, and at the same time for integrating Ukraine into the EU.
