Download the guiding documents of the CBSS and the Summit and Council meeting communiques.
Throughout the year the CBSS holds a number of international and regional meetings. These culminate in two alternating high-level meetings, either a CBSS Ministerial or a Baltic Sea States Summit. The Summit is held by the Head of Government of the presiding Member State and the Ministerial is held by the Foreign Minister of the respective CBSS Member State. Both of these meetings are also attended by a representative from the European Union. Here we provide you with a historical overview of our yearly meetings and the communiques and declarations that eminate from them. Read more about the structure of our organisation here.
