Your Excellencies,
On behalf of the Education, Science and Culture Committee of the Baltic Assembly, we would like to
express the assurances of our highest consideration to the Baltic Council of Ministers.
During the meeting of the Education, Science and Culture Committee of the Baltic Assembly on 26-
27 May 2022 in Vilnius, the parliamentarians of the Baltic States gathered to discuss current and future
challenges in the cultural cooperation of the Baltic States and the implementation of the
recommendations of the Baltic Assembly in 2021.
One of the topics discussed during the meeting was the Baltic Culture Fund (BCF). The Baltic
parliamentarians positively evaluated the work of the BCF but also came to the conclusion that since
2019, the funding for the cultural cooperation projects of the Baltic States has decreased. The members
of the Baltic Assembly also realized that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has clear economic
consequences that will also impact the work of the BCF.
Considering the role of culture in fostering close neighbourly relations and increasing social resilience
that in our region are more important than ever, we would like to request the governments of the Baltic
States to allocate additional funding in 2023 in the amount of 10% of the BCF funding to ensure the
continuity and quality of the cultural projects funded by the BCF that demonstrate the unity, solidarity
and close cultural ties between the Baltic States.
We appreciate our cooperation and trust that the governments of the Baltic States will assess and
implement the proposal of the parliamentarians.
Sincerely yours,
Chair of the Member of the Vice Chair of the
Education, Science and Culture Education, Science and Culture Education, Science and Culture
