The main assumption of the model is that in soft processes mesons behave like systems made of valence quarks and an effective vacuum- like field. The 4-momentum of the latter represents the relativistic generalization of the potential energy. The electromagnetic form factors are expressed in terms of the overlap integral of the initial and final wave functions written under the form of Lorentz covariant distribution of quark momenta. The calculation is fully Lorentz covariant and the form factors of the charged mesons are normalized to unity at t=0.
