Sessions of the Baltic Assembly

The Session of the Baltic Assembly is the highest body of the organisation. There are two kinds of the sessions: regular and extraordinary. A regular or an extraordinary Session of the Baltic Assembly have the power to act if more than half of the members of each national delegation are present.

A proposal to convene an extraordinary Session may be submitted by each national delegation individually or jointly with other delegations. The proposal to convene an extraordinary Session must be well founded, indicating the issues for consideration.

The Session can adopt decisions on all issues pertaining to the Baltic Assembly activities. A regular Session of the Assembly shall be held once a year in the presiding country. The Session has the following competence:

  • adoption and amendment of the Statutes;
  • approval of the BA symbols and adoption and amendment of the regulations on their use;
  • fixing the venue and time of a regular Session;
  • approval and amendment of the agenda of the Session;

The Session of the Baltic Assembly adopts its decisions by voting. Each national delegation has one vote. A decision shall be deemed adopted if all the national delegations have voted in favour of it.
