This Plan of Action provides a comprehensive framework for the activities of the Central European Initiative (CEI) over the period 2027–2030. Building on the CEI's mandate as a regional platform for political dialogue and practical cooperation, the Plan of Action aims to guide the Organisation's work in responding to the evolving needs and priorities of its Member States.
The document reflects the CEI's continued commitment to fostering regional cooperation in support of European integration and promotion of sustainable development. It takes into account the opportunities arising from the current momentum of the EU accession process, the final phase of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as the need to continue to support Ukraine and to strengthen connectivity, resilience and security amid a changing geopolitical landscape and an increasingly fragile multilateral order. In this regard, connectivity—in its physical, institutional and people-to-people dimensions—will remain a guiding thread of the CEI's work throughout the implementation of this Plan of Action.
