ChristDem MP: Regional cooperation to benefit C Europe in long run

Regional cooperation gives central Europe an opportunity to be one of the winners of the coming decades, Lorinc Nacsa, a spokesman for the co-ruling Christian Democrats, told a conference in Warsaw on Monday. "Economic opportunity and growth in the European Union are called central Europe today," Nacsa told the Three Seas Initiative conference of young lawmakers. Economic activity in central and eastern Europe has returned to pre-pandemic levels, but it could take months before the same could be said for western Europe, he said. Nacsa underscored the importance of regional cooperation, saying that the CEE countries needed to demonstrate their strength and competitiveness in the changing geopolitical and global economic landscape.
