| The European
Movement in Sussex was joined in 2004 by Lewes Links, an
organisation which was set up in 1992 to forge links and to promote better understanding
of central and eastern Europe. As countries in those areas opened to contacts with
western Europe, Lewes Links aimed to involve Sussex people in creating and
sustaining links with people and organisations in the eastern half of Europe. In May 2004 some of the countries where these contacts had been
built were welcomed into the European Union, and another two in January 2007. Other
countries still aspire to join, and the concept of a European identity goes well beyond
the borders of the EU.
This website continues to provide recent news and
background from the central and eastern European countries (see top right &
right-hand panel).
