What is Balticness?
The "Balticness" project is one of the widest-ranging events of the Latvian Presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS).
It is:
When and Where?
Between November 2007 and June 2008, Balticness will visit the major metropoles of the Baltic Sea States: Tallinn, Helsinki, St Petersburg, Stockholm, Oslo, Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Berlin, Warsaw, Vilnius, and Riga.
Why "Balticness"?
The Baltic Sea region is at the "top end" of Europe, geographically, economically and symbolically. It is an environment of common values and objectives. Of course, "integration" can not be merely a bureaucratic concept; it necessitates a feeling and conviction of belonging to a common aggregate of values. Balticness reflects the Baltic Sea as the artery of life of the entire region and its society, and the countries of the region as competitive, creative, dynamic, multicultural states populated by professional, skilful and candid people.
