The place and role of transborder cooperation in the modern system of international relations should be viewed in the context of strategic national and state interests, foreign political actions directed at maintaining and realization of these interests. Transborder cooperation between Ukrainian and Hungarian regions in early XXI century is determined by the development and application of modern innovation mechanisms and principles. One of the ways to increase competitiveness of border regions is the application of clusters. Cluster approach is one of the most optimal mechanisms of increasing social and economic development of the neighbouring countries’ periphery. Nowadays the transport and logistic activity, cooperation in the Ukrainian-Hungarian border region is of utmost significance for the development of transborder cooperation. Formation of clusters in the UkrainianHungarian border region is an efficient means of development of innovational activity of border regions in Ukraine and Hungary. Moreover, this testifies to the use of competitive advantages by Ukraine and Hungary and the formation of a European level transborder logistic cluster.
