Germany seeks to join EU's eastern energy club
By EUOBSERVER
Germany wants to join the Three Seas Initiative, an economic forum dominated by eastern EU states, as part of what its foreign minister Heiko Maas called "a new Ostpolitik" on Tuesday, referring to Berlin's policy on Russia. The forum focuses on reducing energy dependence on Russia at a time when Germany is building a new gas pipeline to Russia. The club's leading members are the increasingly illiberal Hungary and Poland.
