Summary/Abstract: The world economic crisis has already revealed weakness of regional economies, which aggravates political instability in some countries of the Baltic Sea Region. This opinion tends to analyze the most obvious implications of the crisis for this area, mostly focusing on the relations between Russia and the Baltic States as the most problematic on the regional agenda. The crisis brings both challenges and opportunities for regional cooperation, which potentially can contribute to positive revisiting of the regional cooperation agenda.
