EUSAIR’S MISSION:
Connecting people and institutions to build a common understanding of cooperation for a harmonised, integrated and sustainable region.
EUSAIR’S VISION:
Joint multi-level solutions for common challenges towards a stronger Adriatic and Ionian region.
Due to COVID-19 the meeting was held online, but although we did not meet in person, EUSAIR is a living proof that cooperation and Macro-regional Strategies have no limits, nor physical nor mental. COVID-19 made us even more efficient! Congratulations to our dearest nations and regions, once again we proved that the true will CAN move mountains and offer a pleasant view of the shared sea and its hinterland!
