We study interaction of different-polarization single-component vector solitons of the envelope function in anisotropic media within the framework of the system of two coupled third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations which allow for the third-order linear dispersion, nonlinear dispersion, nonlinear cross-phase modulation, and cross-nonlinear dispersion. The regimes of mutual reflection, passage, and asymptotic approach of the solitons are obtained. It is shown that the character of interaction of such solitons is determined by the initial relationship of their amplitudes and phases. The stationary mutual locations of interacting solitons and their coupled, the so-called breather states are discussed. The roles of the cubic nonlinearity, cubic cross-nonlinearity, and cross-nonlinear dispersion during interaction of solitons are studied.
