The informal forum for a top-level political dialogue was established in 2003 in the Portuguese town of Arraiolos by the then incumbent president of the country Jorge Sampaio. The format gathers the presidents of the European counties who do not represent their countries in the Council of Europe. The presidents of the EU parliamentary republics discuss topical issues and problems of united Europe.
