Summary/Abstract: The reflections presented in the article concerned the presentation of the position of Euroregions as important and fully established forms of cross-border cooperation in the context of the crisis of national states, and especially in the understanding of national sovereignty and identity. The text provides an overview of cross-border cooperation, then refers to the definition of a national state and more broadly to one of its determinants, which is sovereignty. Generally speaking, it should be stressed that when analysing the development of Euroregions, especially in terms of cultural and social cooperation, it is difficult to speak of a threat to the sovereignty of nation states.
