The Central European Initiative (CEI) is an intergovernmental forum promoting
political, economic, cultural and scientific cooperation among its Member
States. Its core mission is: Regional Cooperation for European Integration.
The aim of the political cooperation is to supply the countries and their
institutions with a flexible, pragmatic platform for regional cooperation, while
focusing on their preparation to a future accession to the European Union (EU).
The CEI is actively engaged in supporting projects in various areas of
cooperation, also through the mobilisation of financial resources providing
greater possibilities for studying, financing and executing national and
international projects.

Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary,
