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.

The 6 th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will be held May 27-28, 2026, under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki. This distinction recognises the growing importance of the event, which has become a key platform for cooperation among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, both in the economic and infrastructural dimensions.

Over five editions of the Congress (2020–2025), more than 5,000 participants from 24 countries have taken part, 104 discussion panels have been held, and 64 foreign delegations have visited Lublin. The scale and international character of the event confirm its increasing role in shaping dialogue across the Three Seas region.

We, the countries representing Central and Eastern Europe (…) through the Three Seas Initiative, Via Baltica, and Via Carpatia, share not only our voice and vision of building a civic community, but also tangible results showing that the Baltic States and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are capable of implementing major infrastructure projects, emphasised President Karol Nawrocki during his visit to Vilnius last month.

These words perfectly capture the spirit of the Three Seas Congress, which brings together political, academic, and business communities around a shared goal, building a strong, integrated, and cooperative Central and Eastern Europe.

It is also worth noting that in April 2025, Poland hosted the 10th Three Seas Initiative Summit. During the event, participants emphasised the importance of infrastructure and economic cooperation in the region and the need to strengthen cohesion across Central and Eastern Europe. This year, the cooperation format has been expanded to include new members – Albania and Montenegro joined the Three Seas Initiative in the capacity of associated participating states, while Spain and Turkey became new strategic partners. It has already been announced that the 11th Summit will take place in Croatia in 2026.

We cordially invite you to take part in the Three Seas Local Government Congress! Registration will open in the end of January. More details will soon be available at www.congress.lubelskie.pl and on our social media channels.
