The initiative was established in 2016 at the meeting of the presidents of the participating countries in Dubrovnik, Croatia. After President Rumen Radev hosted the Estonian counterpart Kersti Kalulaid in October 2020 in Tallinn to host the Three Seas regional cooperation initiative, our country took over the process of coordinating the initiative, which unites 12 European countries located between the Adriatic, Baltic and Black Sea. The hosting of the Republic of Bulgaria of the Three Seas Initiative in 2021 is a logical continuation of our country’s participation in this regional format.
