The Three Seas Initiative: Expanding for a Stronger Future
The Three Seas Initiative is a political platform that aims to foster economic cooperation and boost development among 12 EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe. The initiative's priorities include the development of energy, transport, and digital infrastructure. It was established in response to the growing threat from Russia and the dependence on Russian energy imports. The initiative has expanded to include Greece as its 13th member, and Ukraine and Moldova have expressed interest in joining. The initiative traces its roots back to a failed attempt in the 1930s to establish a similar alliance.
