Does the European Union want to force the Three Seas Initiative to accept refugees?



Tense situation on the Polish-Belarussian border. Actions aiming at compulsory relocation of migrants do not stop. The European Commission puts pressure on changing the social structure of the Three Seas Initiative states – Tomasz Teluk, PhD comments.



Aleksander Łukaszenka and Wladimir Putin know well what they are doing hitting soft underbelly of the European Union with the human rights. The response of the UE is immediate. According to the UE sources, possible support for Poland due to the crisis on the border will be subject to a series of conditions, all of them connected with human rights protection. Brussels wants the migrants to be received in Poland based on the new asylum procedures. This way a change of the law in our country is to be extorted. The migrants who have illegally crossed the green border would be obligatorily accepted. Since now, turning them back to the country from where they crossed the border would be illegal – Teluk comments.



New solutions would not concern only Poland but also Latvia and Lithuania. While for Poland, receiving thousands of migrants would not be an organisational problem, for countries like Lithuania or Latvia (with population lower than many western European metropolis), it would mean disturbing the social structure.



The European Commission wants to impose on the Three Seas Initiative countries a ban to send back the refugees. Breaking the border and illegal trespassing the territory of a country would not only be legalised but also supervised by Frontex, UE agency for border protection. All this in order to force Lithuania, Lativa and Poland to accept illegal immigrants sent to Europe by Russia and Belarus – the founder of the Institute of Globalisation writes.



According to Brussels, the Three Seas countries break human rights by not providing them with medical help, food and asylum. The governments in Warsaw, Riga and Vilnius are accused of lack of humanitarianism. Everything under dictation of the Minsk and Russia propaganda. Mainstream media write that the border is mainly occupied by refugees from Afghanistan, women and children, while the truth is completely different.

About the Three Seas Initiative in Davos



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.
