Eugene Eteris, Scandinavian Office Baltic Course, LLD, asoc.prof., Riga, 22.10.2009.
During the last two years, the countries around the Baltic Sea Area (BSA) have seen a dynamic attention from the Commission in its efforts to coordinate region’s social and economic development. Due to the Swedish government’s initiative in the second half of 2009, these efforts have materialized into a well-developed strategy supported by all the countries around the Baltic Sea area. Now it depends on the governments of these countries, in particular those in the Eastern Baltics, to play an active part in the strategy’s implementation.
