 Przeglad Srodkowo Europejski - Central European Review
Now we have formal annual meetings of foreign ministers that are becoming a sort of tour d?horizon of the situation in Europe and the role of France, Germany, and Poland, with Poland being treated as an equal partner and a member of both NATO and the EU, although membership has not become a fact yet.
All in all, we now have a new development in European politics, which is taken into consideration in all European capitals and, moreover, one which has generated a great deal of interest across the Atlantic, including within our greatest ally, the United States.
In practice, this means that it is necessary for the three partners to develop a new policy toward Central Europe, for which the exemplary Franco-German relations do not serve, as they cannot serve, as a model.

 The development of interparliamentary cooperation in the Balkans
Following the opening-up of the former eastern bloc countries to the West, the Central European Initiative was the first intergovernmental cooperation project to be established in the region of the Balkans and Central Europe, essentially in order to provide guidance for the restructuring and economic adaptation of the former communist states.
A number of initiatives had previously been launched among parliaments of the region with a view to establishing contacts, and a first conference of the Chairmen of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Committees from the national parliaments of the SEECP states was held in 1997 in Athens.
These forums have greatly contributed to the process of European integration and it would be a great shame, with the end goal in sight, if certain countries were now to turn away from them and their wealth of common experience, in favour of other solutions.

 Hungarian Dep. State Secretary Dr. Istvan Gyarmati...Central Europe and NATO Enlargement
But the other two reasons that Central Europe is on the right track, going toward democracy and a market economy so not very much attention needs to be paid to it; and that Central Europe is still full of dangers, so it should not be brought into NATO I believe are wrong.
I am sure that Central Europe will join NATO in the future, but we wish to restate the unquestionable fact that Central Europe is a stable region despite the political disputes you may read about in the newspapers.
Despite all our internal problems, however, I think that Hungary and the other Central European countries are on the right track, and this is evidenced by the fact that NATO is preparing to enlarge and to invite some of these countries to become members.

The central argument of this thesis is that subregional cooperation in Central Europe is proving difficult because there are few realistic common goals and no common historical base acceptable to all potential member countries.
A distinction is made between new concepts of cooperation frameworks, aimed at managing links with the West (Visegrad Group, Central European Initiative), and concepts reflecting historical proposals, in general aimed at addressing the country's relations with its Eastern neighbours (NATO-bis, Miedzymorze).
As the feeling of mission is interpreted by Poland's neighbours as expression of imperialist tendencies, subregional cooperation has little in terms of common historical experiences that create feelings of solidarity, institutional continuity and precedents for cooperation on which to build.
