Poland and Croatia in 2015 launched a regional drive called the Three Seas Initiative to boost infrastructure, energy and economic cooperation as well as political ties among 12 European countries.

The new Polish research centre, tentatively named as the Central Europe Institute, will provide strategic research to support government policy related to other Three Seas Initiative countries, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported, citing the Prime Minister’s Office in Warsaw.

The new institute will also aim to ensure that Three Seas Initiative policies are fully in line with Poland’s strategic national interests, IAR reported.

The government plans to approve legislation later this year to set up the Central Europe Institute, according to IAR.

The Three Seas Initiative brings together Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary.
