Innovation & Cooperation
of the Eastern Partnership, where most of our countries
are included. We are active in the EU Strategy for the
Danube Region (EUSDR), we are preparing to contribute
to the EU Strategy for the Adriatic - Ionian Macro-Region
(EUSAIR) and to the future strategy for the Alpine
Region (EUSALP), where we have just revitalised our
collaboration with the Council of Baltic Sea States.
All macro-regional strategies have a role to play for
the benefit of CEI non EU Member States. Bringing them
closer to the European Union in a very consistent way to
reach the strategic goal driving our activity. In order to
facilitate macro-regional experience and opportunity
sharing among CEI members, which are not part of this
dimension, we also envisage the delivery of specific initiatives
as already stated above. We aim at leading applicants
and beneficiaries of CEI programmes to a higher
level of consistency with the respective regional priorities;
we wish to set the backbone for the mobilisation
of relevant stakeholders in our Member States – be they
public authorities or non-governmental organisations –
for the establishment of sound partnerships aimed at
elaborating new projects.
