Three Seas Local Government Congress took place on 6-7th June 2022 in the Lublin Conference Centre. The Congress addressed the issues important for cooperation of the regions from the Three Seas Initiative area, also in the face of the armed conflict in Ukraine.

The event was accompanied by the Economic Forum, which is a platform for building lasting economic relations. We organised seminars, B2B meetings and study visits. It was great opportunity for establishing new contacts, gaining new experiences, broadening knowledge of the world and people and gaining unforgettable memories.
