- Cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region makes no sense without Russia. It is important that we reach out to Russia and the Nordic Council of Ministers can help facilitate this through our networks. 

This statement was announced by Halldór Ásgrímsson, Secretary General of the Nordic Council of Ministersin a seminar on the future implementation of the EUSBSR in Brussels earlier this week.

The seminar was organized by the NCM in cooperation with the Informal Baltic Sea Group and the EU General Directorate for Regional Policy as part of the ongoing exploration of synergies between Nordic and EU cooperation.
