All EU countries are essentially in favour of their accession to the Union. The accession process, however, is extremely long and complex. An important role in the integration of the West Balkan countries with the EU structures has been played by Slovenia, an EU member state since May 1st , 2004. Slovenia is a central European country but is understands the specificity of south European states as it was also a part of the former Yugoslavia. Croatia is to join the EU on July 1st , 2013. The remaining West Balkan countries are at different stages of the accession process.

Płudowski, Tomasz The article analyses transatlantic relations looking at their three main dimensions: cultural, economic and political-military. The article argues that although the US now dominates Europe culturally and both are historically connected by the WASP heritage, important axiological differences do remain, especially given Europe’s diversity. With regards to economic relations, which cause most conflicts, the two entities are competitors but ones that cooperate closely and constitute the world’s largest economies and economic partners. This cooperation notwithstanding, Europe and the US differ in their standards and procedures as well as in their approach to China’s growing power. As far as political and military relations are concerned, the US and Europe are experiencing a shift from America’s patronage over Europe to an envisaged partnership. One of the main obstacles in that process is the lack of common EU policy, as well as Europe’s less aggressive international military presence.

The EU-Russia relations are crucial both for the continent and the world as a whole. At the same time, they are also extremely involved given their multidimensionality and multi-directionality. The paper characterises the relation between Russia and the EU in the most important aspects of social life. It also points out that the EU has yet to establish a common, coherent policy towards Russia.

One of the most prominent groups shaping the debates have been political parties, their leaders and representatives both at home and abroad. The paper aims at presenting the views of the extreme right-wing parties on the broadly conceived issue of the European integration. The paper follows the framework which focuses on three main aspects: principles, practice and vision of the European integration. On this basis, three types of Eurosceptic attitudes of right-wing parties in Western Europe are distinguished and used in further comparisons. In the main section of the paper, the qualitative analysis of party manifestos and statements is conducted to demonstrate the evolution of views of some extreme right-wing parties in new member states (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) between the years 2001-2010. The examples analysed are compared with relevant specimens of West European party policies and shown in their many variants.
