Three Seas Initiative – a priority for the Czech

15 November 2021

Petr Fiala from the Civic Democratic Party will be the new Prime Minister of the Czech Republic. A month after the election, President Milos Zeman asked Fiala to form the government. Fiala has already announced that the priority of the Czech government will be to develop cooperation with the Three Seas Initiative.

Relations with the United States and partnership with Israel will be important for coalition members. Diplomacy priorities also include the European Union and NATO. The Czech want to be an active participant of the Eastern Partnership and support the UE ambitions of the Western Balkan states. It may be expected that these will be the priorities of the Czech presidency in the EU in the second half of 2022.

According to the coalition agreement, the international cooperation forums are to be the Visegrad Group and the Three Seas Initiative, which foreshadows openness for regional cooperation. In the light of recent events on the Polish-Lithuanian- Belarussian borders, we may notice that the Czech government expects from Brussels effective protection of the external EU borders. The support is to include among others: fight against human trafficking, effective policy of sending immigrants back and solving migration problems in the origin and transit states.

The agreement stipulates that the new government will review relations with Russia and China. Russia has been still indicated as the most serious threat for NATO. It is important because recently the American have made an attempt to reorient the Alliance towards China, which is contrary to the expectations of the states of eastern flank. South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are the states that the new government wants to strengthen relations with.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki emphasized in Davos the strategic importance of the Three Seas Initiative as a key platform for infrastructural, economic, and geopolitical cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. The opening speech of the panel „Three Seas Initiative: geostrategic business opportunities – a bridge to the future – from the Adriatic, the Baltic, the Black Sea to Asia” took place as part of the Leaders Forum powered by Poland during the World Economic Forum in Davos. Former polish president Andrzej Duda participated as well.

President Nawrocki noted that over the course of a decade the Three Seas Initiative has evolved from a political concept into a mature cooperation mechanism that has tangible impact on the regional development.

“Ten years ago, the Three Seas Initiative began as an idea. Up until today it has evolved into a strategic framework for regional transformation, and alliance of innovation and infrastructure, and a symbol of Central and South-Eastern Europe’s maturity and confidence on the world stage” – told the President.

In his address the President also emphasized the strong transatlantic anchoring of the Three Seas Initiative. He stressed that from the very beginning, the Initiative was conceived as an open project, strengthening cooperation between the European Union and partners outside Europe, particularly the United States. In this context, the Three Seas Initiative was presented as a “bridge” connecting a dynamically developing region with global capital, technology, and markets.

” The Three Seas Initiative has never been an inward-looking project (…) it has been strategically anchored in the transatlantic partnership that unites Europe and North America”.

The President drew attention to the geostrategic dimension of cooperation within the Three Seas region in the face of global challenges such as geopolitical instability, pressure on supply chains, and competition for resources. He pointed out that the development of modern infrastructure and the deepening of economic cooperation constitute the foundation of security and long-term growth.

The speech also had a strong economic dimension. The President of Poland underlined Poland’s ambitions to strengthen its position in the global economy and its aspirations to join the G20, highlighting the growing role of the Three Seas region as one of the engines of growth in Europe. At the same time, he invited international investors to actively participate in projects implemented under the framework of the Initiative.

During the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Karol Nawrocki also met with President of the United States Donald Trump. The main topics of their talks were security and economic issues.
