The article examines the peculiarities of the formation of the Carpathian Euroregion, the peculiarities of cooperation and the role of national minorities in this cooperation. The Carpathian Euroregion is one of the largest Euroregions in Eastern and Central and Eastern Europe, and includes countries such as Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. The strategy for the effective development of the Euroregion provides excellent opportunities for enhanced political dialogue, as well as in-depth economic, cultural and interethnic cooperation. Many projects within this Euroregion are primarily aimed at expanding cooperation with national minorities, as well as policies of cultural diversity in the regions and the creation of a single, well-developed infrastructure. Since its inception, the Carpathian Euroregion has moved from a declarative formation to an effective and practical tool in multilateral diplomacy. Nevertheless, the Carpathian Euroregion is considerable, and therefore there is some unevenness in cooperation between the participating states. For example, cooperation between Poland and Ukraine is much stronger than cooperation between Poland and Slovakia. Of course, the first reason for such inequality in cooperation is the common historical past, as well as the presence of national minorities, which set the main trend and are the main element of the practical implementation of cooperation between the parties.
