The Weimar Triangle group was set up by Poland, Germany and France in the early 1990s to help overcome divisions in Europe by integrating Poland with European and Euro-Atlantic structures. That goal was achieved through Poland's accession to NATO, and then to the European Union.
Today the Weimar Triangle is a platform for consulting and discussing common positions on key policy issues within the European bloc, with talks taking place at various levels of government administration, according to officials.
