Summary/Abstract: The objective of the present paper is to discuss the Three Seas Initiative (TSI) as a project in statu nascendi. The TSI aims to tighten the cooperation of states located between the Baltic, the Black, and the Adriatic seas. The initiative was inaugurated during the Dubrovnik summit (Croatia) in August 2016. The TSI encompasses EU member states. The second summit was held in Warsaw on 6th May 2017. In 2018, the third summit will be held in Romania. The paper will outline objectives the initiative aims to achieve and its determinants. Subsequently, challenges and threats for the EU associated with the initiative will be discussed. Will the TSI fall hostage to thinking in geopolitical categories, or will it constitute a new model of regional cooperation?
