The article presents an attempt to interpret the development of the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) from the perspective of several political theories of international integration. The 3SI project has been commented on many times from a geopolitical and economic perspective, but it is worth noting that due to its integration into the framework of cooperation between EU countries, it fits into European integration processes. The article points out that in the 20th century, integration concepts in the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) had the nature of geopolitical initiatives. The goals of these visions were (1) the security of the region vis-à-vis external powers and (2) finding a way to overcome long-term peripherality. In the 21st century, CEE countries joined the European Union and began to co-create continental integration institutions. The text presents a case study and tries to answer the question to what extent the CEE countries have used political innovations developed in the EU and (described by the theorists of European integration) to develop regional cooperation formats on the example of the Three Seas Initiative.
