Abstract
In the 20 years since the ‘Baltic Way’, a common identity has resurfaced among the Baltic states, which are bound by strong geo-strategic interests and political ties to the European Union, NATO and the forum of cooperation of the Baltic and Nordic countries (NB-8). One of the EU's current challenges is to address the problems of uneven infrastructure and economic development in the Baltic region, along with the environmental hazards threatening the Baltic Sea. The author argues that the EU's Baltic Sea Strategy will be highly useful for restoring and maintaining the ecological balance of the Baltic Sea and for promoting balanced economic development in the region. Latvia is committed to the development of an integrated energy market and seeks to foster growth and competitiveness through the elimination of economic and social disparities in the Baltic region. Full support from all Baltic states, the European Union and international institutions and programmes is essential for reaching these goals.
