The paper analyses the effects of cross-border cooperation. We have in view the cross-border cooperation between Romania, Rep. of Moldova and Ukraine. Some of the results of this cooperation are the present Euro-regions created between all three countries. We identified the main determinants of development, as well as the main barriers that influenced socio-economic development. The SWOT analysis performed shows the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for these countries. There were used data from national institutes of statistics, divided into several categories like population and labour force, social and cultural dimensions, agriculture and forestry, other economic activities, transport and technical infrastructure, also there were used results from different publications in this field, including the previous research of the authors. The results show that, at present, there are many differences in the investigated Euro-regions caused by the different national policies applied or the institutional strategies implemented. Each country and each Euro-region has its own opportunities and constraints, also common objectives and they can be the basis for future common inter-state projects or governmental, regional or local economic scenarios.
