Abstract: Mean-square radii and electromagnetic form factors of light mesons are obtained in the framework of Poincare covariant quark model based on the point form of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. Calculations are performed with the use of the requirement of self-consistent description of electroweak properties and masses of pseudoscalar and vector mesons.

Keywords: meson, quark model, electromagnetic form factor, leptonic decay constant.
