As Ukrinform notes the new initiative is called – A New Flagship Initiative – ‘the Trio Strategy 2030’.

These policy objectives can be formulated as follows:
‘The creation of the European Trio Process – a new EU soft-power instrument to improve motivation to continue reforms, which will include tailor-made more intensive instruments of cooperation with the EU and its Member States.
The European Trio Process will be led by the EU institutions and a coalition of likeminded countries of the Trio Strategy 2030. The European Trio Process will replicate the one initiated in 2014 by Germany to speed up the process of the integration of Western Balkans (so called ‘Berlin Process’ initiative).
The European Trio Process will have an intensive agenda of tangible projects and programs, which will take on board the best experience of increased cooperation and deeper integration from Berlin Process and the instruments of European Economic Area.
The success of implementing EU integration reforms by the EU Associated Trio will create new incentivesin the EU East Neighbourhood for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Belarusto choose an ambitious path of European integration. The Trio Strategy 2030 should be complementary to the Eastern Partnership instruments and will not aim at replacing the existing initiatives in this area. On the contrary, it will contribute to the discussion on how we can make the Eastern Partnership policy more effective,’- Lithuanian Delegation of the EPP Group stated.
