What is more, the previous year ended with a relatively strong signal of the further development of the Three Seas Initiative (a project of twelve Central European countries located along the Baltic Sea, the Adriatic Sea, and the Black Sea), strengthening its intergovernmental and executive qualities. On top of that, the new members' contributions in the region enlarged the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund (TSIIF), and the US announced its first financial input. 58
