The President of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (FVG), Debora Serracchiani and the Secretary General of the Central European Initiative (CEI), Giovanni Caracciolo di Vietri signed an agreement on 26 May 2014, for strengthening cooperation between the two parties and further developing relations between the FVG and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
CEI’s longstanding experience in promoting regional cooperation for EU integration in Central and Eastern Europe, its tight relations with its 18 member countries, as well as the solid experience in managing EU projects will serve to this purpose. The CEI’s well-established relationship with the EBRD represents another important area of cooperation with the FVG Region.
With this agreement the CEI is expected to contribute to increasing the FVG relations with the Balkans and the Danube area, and the countries bordering the Black and Baltic Seas, to reinforcing the role of the FVG region in the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-regional Strategy.
