In the article the current aspects of crossborder cooperation between regions of Ukraine in the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership and in the frame of «Upper Prut» in particular are discussed. The retrospective of the establishment of crossborder ties of Chernivtsi oblast with the regions of Moldova and Romania and evolution of this cooperation (from Euroregion to implementation of the projects funded by EU programs) is given. Also the efficiency of the Joint Operational Programme «RomaniaUkraineRepublic of Moldova 20072013» for the Ukrainian side border is analyzed. The research of public opinion on influence of the European integration process and its crossborder cooperation was. It was determined that the CBC projects implementation not only positively affects on the development of the region, but also is an effective mechanism for the formation of public opinion on the movement of Ukraine towards the EU. It is concluded that transregional cooperation today is looking for new models of national infrastructures, which includes power systems, transportation and communication network. The development of a common policy on technogenic and ecological safety, prevention of pollution of river basins, and the development of tourism and recreational activities also must be included in such new model. The implementation of joint strategies must be established and have to include the equalization of socioeconomic and political development of border regions.References
