3 Seas united by the Euro
It is time for the Euro from the Baltic to the Black Sea, the Adriatic to Aegean. And we are getting there. Since the foundation of the 3 Seas initiative as response to Russian and Serbia aggression in 2015 the EU members between the Baltics and Black Sea have worked hard to connect each other better via highways, railways, digital and energy links and have worked closely with the USA on strategic matters. But one big issue is missing. Currency integration of the whole regions – inside the Eurozone or by adopting the Euro. Logically using the same currency will foster economic, trade, market integration of the 12 members- 8 of which have part of the Eurozone as Croatia and Bulgaria can be counted in. So, Romania might join now as Bundesbank Governor Jens Weidman is gone now and he was the biggest obstacle of Romania joining the Eurozone. So, it is only Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary are not in the Eurozone and now with populist Babis gone, a pro Eurozone center right leader able oust Orban and Donald Tusk back in Poland to bring Poland back into European mainstream – soon all 12 countries of the 3 seas will be in the Eurozone, if not by European parliament elections 2024 than for sure 2029. For sure all 3 seas Eurozone members should work with the European Commission to make Petr Fiala, Donald Tusk and Peter Marki-Zay an offer to fast track into the Eurozone.

Yes, to European Balkans in 3 seas – soon 4 seas united by and in the Euro
12 united against Russia is good but adding Greece and the Aegean Sea is simple logic. And add the pro-European Balkans 5 – the NATO 5 to be – should be included in the future 4 Seas. Croatia is already inside – actually having co initiated the 3 seas, if Croatia is in, Montenegro, Albania and North Macedonia, Bosnia and Kosovo should join the 3 Seas as they are NATO allies or trying to join NATO in the case of Bosnia and Kosovo. Kosovo and Montenegro use the Euro already since 2002 and now it is time for Bosnia, Albania and North Macedonia to adopt the Euro. So, the from 12 Member to 17 and all in the Euro. This will make the 3 seas safer and include Greece so we are 18 in 3 Seas – possible by then logically 4 Seas including the Aegean Sea.

Make Serbia an offer join – the Euro for Serbia for the recognition of Kosovo
Serbia is the only country in 3 Seas region that currently does not fit in 3 Sea regional integration as it is pro-Russian, similar to Hungary but Serbia is even closer to Russia. Serbia needs first to join the Free World, for this the EU and Eurozone member shall make Serbia the offer to adopt the Euro as currency for the recognition of Kosovo and the fast track integration in the 3 Seas and possible later NATO and then eventual EU membership for Serbia. So, the 4 Seas will have 19 Members, all in the Euro or using the Euro as currency

Ukraine join 3 Seas and adopt the Euro, same for Moldova and Georgia
The Accession Trio of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia sadly rejected by the EU shall adopt the Euro and join 4 Seas to help their European aspiration and make Central Europe secure from Russian aggression, Ukraine being anyhow the shield of the West and the defender of Europe since 2014. The adoption of the Euro in Free Ukraine, Free Georgia and Free Moldova should accelerate accession and make to everybody clear where the future goes, into the EU and NATO. So, we are 22 in 4 Seas. All in the Euro.

Turkey, southern corner stone of the 4 seas and NATO
NATO Ally Turkey is blocked on her way to join EU but is a vital pillar of Western defense and controls key infrastructure links between the 4 Seas and East Asia via the Southern Caucasus. Turkey must be part of the 4 Seas, the Customs Union updated and the Lira pegged to the Euro. Turkey as the 23 member and the corner stone of the 4 seas would add the weight of Turkey and make it clear to Russia. Central Europe organized in the 3 Seas and prosperous by the Euro as common currency and inside NATO, allied with the USA and inside the EU allied with Germany and France – that will impress, deter and contain Russia long term.

Pilsudski Dream - Currency and Customs and defense integration from Baltics to Black Sea.
By the Euro as common currency the dream of the Founder of Modern Poland and visionary of emerging Central Europe being able to defend itself from revanchist imperialist Russia can be achieved much faster and more effective than with Poland picking petty fights with Brussels, Hungary selling out to Russia, excluding the Balkans and keeping Ukraine in the grey buffer zone. Current 3 Seas would make Pilsudski turn furious in the Wawelkrypta in Cracow but by including Ukraine and uniting the region in NATO and by the Euro and stopping petty fights with your main Allies in NATO, Euro and Euro and by more unity leading to more security and success, Pilsudski can rest in peace as Poland and all free states between the Baltics and Black Sea will be secure from Russia for now and long term.
