Résumé L'Europe unie n'est pas édifiée uniquement par les pays occidentaux. Les impulsions unificatrices émanent des deux côtés du continent. La réussite régionale de l'Europe centrale devient une contribution de plus en plus importante au succès de l'ensemble du continent.
Résumé anglais Reuniting Europe, by Aleksander Kwasniewski Having joined NATO in 1999, Poland is currently negotiating the conditions of its membership of the European Union. This development was unthink-able ten years ago. However, the divisions between the western and eastern parts of the continent are still visible. Western Europeans should show a more flexible attitude towards the Eastern European candidates because those countries belong — as they themselves do ― to a common cultural and spiritual area. They are participating in their own way in European unifica tion through their own unification initiatives (CEFTA). However, the return of the old demons (Balkans) as well as the combination of euroscepticism in the West and the frustration that would be caused in the East by overly delayed integration, are all threats to European plans. However that may be, all the Central and Eastern European countries must be involved in the process and be regarded more as authentic partners in building European prosperity than as mere candidates.
