The European Council looks forward to the presentation by the European Commission of a new EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) before the end of 2014. The Maritime Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, adopted by the Commission on 30 November 2012, will be one of the (main) component of this broader macro-regional strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian region, which will cover also the hinterland.
The EUSAIR – like the Maritime Strategy – concerns 8 countries: 4 EU Member States (Croatia, Greece, Italy, Slovenia) and 4 non-EU countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia).
