Abstract
Central and Eastern European countries have been excluded in the common conception of Europe for a long time. The Swedish author Jonas Gardell recently aptly expressed the author’s own perceptions: ‘these are the countries that we learnt to forget in school’. Twelve countries are today on the waiting list to become full members of the European Union: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Turkey; most of them gained or regained their independence after the Soviet Union dissolution. The association is expected to benefit both the candidate countries and the European Union, and the preparations for membership have been progressed. To facilitate European Union integration, the new countries will be offered a reduction in their contributions during the early years of membership.
