This paper presents the final results of the campaign of photometric observations of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter at the time of their mutual occultations and eclipses at the epoch of 1997 at observatories of Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. These results essentially contribute to the worldwide database of this type. They will help to refine the models of motion of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. A comparison is made of the obtained data with the results of the worldwide campaign of observations of mutual occultations and eclipses in 1997. From the results of these observations, the differences of planetocentric coordinates of two satellites are calculated for a sequence of instants of time. Processing is based on the theory and the model of mutual occultations and eclipses of natural planetary satellites, which were developed by one of the authors in previous papers (Emel'yanov, 1999, 2000). In this paper, some new elements of the technique were used. We estimated the accuracy of observations. The paper contains information on the observing conditions and describes briefly the instruments employed.
