Summary/Abstract: The Baltic States responded quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic and all of them introduced an “emergency situation” as provided by law. At the same time, they implemented tools to mitigate the potential effects of the collapse of their economies, which are highly dependent on exports and sensitive to global trends. The expected financial crisis will affect the Baltic States’ EU policies, for example, support for the extension of Union competences in public health management and other initiatives deepening integration.
