About

The external experts and editorial board members of the NEWSBALTIC web portal specialise in the “Baltic dimension” of the larger post-Soviet space—both the territories formerly part of the Soviet Union and the countries of the former Eastern bloc. The transformation processes taking place in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia—whether reforms in language, culture and education, attempts to rethink history and socio-economic changes, or key events in domestic and foreign policy—are often perceived as deeply traumatic by the societies of these countries.

The armed conflict in Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2022, is now indirectly affecting the Baltic region—which experts increasingly forecast as a potential flashpoint between geopolitical giants.

The weighted and timely analysis of the complex, sometimes contradictory mix of political, socio-economic, historical and cultural factors in the development of the Baltic region countries aims to provide NEWSBAITIC readers with a clear picture of events and contribute to the development of good-neighbourly relations between the countries.
