The Initiative aims to create an Intermarium-based regional dialogue on various questions affecting the member states. The member states are Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia, and met for their first summit in 2016, in Dubrovnik.

  A north–south highway "Via Carpathia", connecting Klaipėda in Lithuania with Thessaloniki in Greece
  Liquefied natural gas infrastructure, with sea terminals in Poland and Croatia and a connecting pipeline
  Other projects are the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, Via Baltica road, Rail Baltica and Amber Rail Freight Corridor rail connections.
