Euroregion Baltic (ERB) was established in February 1998 as a cooperation between nine regions of Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Russia and Sweden. Since its early days ERB has been pursuing the goals of improving life conditions for its inhabitants, promoting bonds and contacts among local communities, and providing measures for a more sustainable development within the region.

    These have proved challenging tasks for the organization which then included EU member states, acceding countries, and the Kaliningrad Region of the Russian Federation. EU?s enlargement on 1st May 2004 brought about a change in the make-up of our Euroregion, offering a historic opportunity to advance the prospects for genuine cohesion throughout the southeast Baltic Sea Region.
