NFF Attends Three Seas InitiativeBusiness Summit & Opportunity One Side Event in Poland
The Three Seas Initiative (TSI) – a regional forum made up of 13 member states around the European Union’s eastern flank – has marked the 10th anniversary of its founding with a summit in Warsaw.
The group announced that it is expanding to include two new associate countries – Montenegro and Albania – and two new strategic partners – Turkey and Spain. However, a joint statement condemning Russia’s war in Ukraine failed to achieve unanimity after Hungary expressed its opposition.
TSI, which is named for the fact that its members occupy the area between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas, was launched in 2015 by then newly elected Polish President Andrzej Duda and his Croatian counterpart Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović.
It is intended to foster regional dialogue and boost investment, especially in transport, energy and digital infrastructure. The project was inspired by the “Intermarium” concept conceived by Polish interwar leader Józef Piłsudski to bring together the states of central and eastern Europe.
TSI’s original 12 members – Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia – were joined by Greece in 2023.
This year, Montenegro and Albania have joined Ukraine and Moldova as so-called “partner-participants” in TSI, while Spain and Turkey have become “strategic partners”.
Regional cooperation is crucial for strengthening the standing of our nations in Europe and the world. By collaborating closely, we can ensure security for our countries.
“Regional cooperation is crucial for strengthening the standing of our nations in Europe and the world,” said Duda during his opening remarks at Tuesday’s summit. “By collaborating closely, we can ensure security for our countries.”
“In addition, the Three Seas Initiative enhances and fortifies the European Union through initiatives to strengthen transatlantic ties,” he added.
TSI has received support from Washington, including Donald Trump attending its previous Warsaw summit in 2017 and Joe Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, appearing at the Bucharest summit in 2023. This year, US energy secretary Chris Wright sent a message of support.
During his remarks, Duda noted that this year’s summit is his last as president. His second and final term in office expires in August this year. Given that he has been the driving force behind the initiative, there are question marks over whether and how it will continue in his absence.
At the end of the event, a joint statement was issued “strongly condemning the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine”, “reaffirming our unwavering support for Ukraine”, calling for “accelerating the [EU] accession process with Ukraine”, and “holding accountable those who ordered or committed war crimes in Ukraine”.
