Importance The article overviews the cross-border cooperation of the regions of Siberia and Mongolia, and the regions situated on the Russian-Mongolian border in particular.
Objectives The research analyzes the location of each border region in particular, determines the level of cooperation between two parties. We also evaluate how actively local authorities use resource associated with border location, and what are real reasons that border activities are so weak.
Methods The research represents a comparative analysis of cooperation between the regions of Siberia and Mongolia.
Results We identified which border regions were mostly involved into cross-border cooperation, and what role the quantity of border crossing points played, especially their status. To expand cross-border cooperation, it is necessary to increase a network of border crossing points, make them internationally significant, rather than bilateral, and modernize the border infrastructure.
Conclusions and Relevance The economic effect of cross-border cooperation implies the expansion of the distribution market for one part, and availability of cheaper goods and services for the other. It is worth mentioning that any positive administrative efforts may stall and have zero effect if there is no good border infrastructure. The findings will be helpful for all parties who are involved in the expansion and deepening of cross-border cooperation.

Keywords: border regions, cooperation, border crossing point
