Abstract
The chapter analyses ideas about regions and regional identity in political language of the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 2014–2018. First, there is a presentation of previous research on the subject and then the study examines presidential narratives and establishes quantifiable distribution and proportionality of regional manifestations. The chapter also discusses the contents of regional discourses with degrees of countries’ affiliations and coherence. The analysis argues that trilateral Baltic regional identity is most tangible and embedded in geopolitical security concerns and Soviet legacies. The Northern European (Nordic-Baltic) identity emerges as the second most important regional togetherness in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Eastern Europe is considered as the region outside the EU, and Central European images are extinct.
