Why the 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).
