Introduction. Improving the society's well-being and the income of businesses in border regions should be based, inter alia, on the benefits of their geographical location. One of the most effective ways to realize these benefits is the formation of cross-border cluster structures. However, the formation of cross-border clusters and their further development are difficult processes, the course of which is possible only under certain conditions. Specifying these conditions is an important step in developing a general strategy for cross-border cooperation and finding ways to intensify it on the basis of building cross-border cluster structures. Particularly, the necessary conditions for the formation and development of cross-border clusters are proper organizational and infrastructural support of these processes. The purpose of the paper is to determine the composition and to specify the features of organizational and infrastructural support of the formation and economic development of cross-border cluster structures. Results. The concept of economic development of a cross-border cluster was interpreted. The main stages of this development were identified. The creating model of the potential for cross-border cluster formation was presented. The main system components for ensuring the realization of this potential were identified. The grouping of creating ways of cross-border cluster structures was carried out. The processes sequence of formation and development of cross- border clusters has been offered. The main subjects of infrastructural processes that ensure formation and development of cross-border cluster structures were identified. Conclusions. The study showed that a necessary condition for the formation and development of cross-border clusters is the potential for these processes. There should also be a system to ensure the implementation of this potential, which consists of subsystems of organizational, infrastructural, methodological and regulatory support for the formation and development of cross-border cluster structures. There are some relationships between these four subsystems. Particularly, the infrastructural support of these processes largely determines the level of their organizational support. The obtained results can be used in the strategies development for socio-economic development of the border regions of Ukraine.
