Czech Republic: The Three Seas Initiative is the biggest Euro-Atlantic project since our joining the NATO

25 May 2022

The Tree Seas project is extremely important for the Czechs. Previous governments considered that it could be a tool dividing Europe and they concentrated mainly on Brussels. Now, the Prague politicians present other way of thinking . This issues was discussed by the plenipotentiary of the Czech’s government for the Three Seas Initiative during the interview with radio Wnet.fm

Our economy is strongly focused on the Three Seas concept. It is extremely important for us. We want the Check Republic to be economically connected with Central and South Europe – emphasises Jan Sechter.

The Czech politician underlined that economic cooperation with Ukraine is important for his country. He regrets that his country has not managed to strengthen economic ties with the east so far. It has been considered in our country for long that Europe should open more to eastern markets and the Balkans.

The Three Seas Initiative is a project OF cooperation in the field of economy, infrastructure and energy involving the 12 UE member states: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Since it was established upon the Initiative of Poland and Croatia, it has also been a Trans-Atlantic cooperation project.

Supported by President Trump, and now by Biden’s administration – it has been the most important Trans-Atlantic project implemented in Europe since the integration of Central and Eastern Europe with the NATO structures. On 18 November 2020 the US Congress unanimously adopted the resolution no 672 which supports Three Seas projects and the Initiative itself as a strategic concept. (info.wnet.fm)

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.
