Why
are there special features
on central and eastern Europe?
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).
