Methanol masers observed at high angular resolution are useful tool to investigate the processes of high-mass star formation. Here, we present the results of statistical analysis of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser structures in 60 sources observed with the EVN. The parameters of the maser clouds and exciting stars were derived. There is evidence that the emission structures composed of larger number of maser clouds are formed in the vicinity of more luminous exciting stars.
