Ants Piip, in 1934 in Riga, emphasised the importance of regional co-operation in preserving Baltic independence:[5]
The law of history is the following: if the nations inhabiting the shores of the Baltic Sea are not able to create between themselves a stronger organisation, they are doomed inevitably to submit to a stronger European power of the respective period.
