Sarkozy’s initiative of Mediterranean Union stirred great concern among many of the new member states, notably in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. The realization of the project in its initial shape could have resulted in the total marginalization of the eastern dimension of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Yet at the same time, Sarkozy’s proposal provided a crucial opportunity to lobby for enhanced EU cooperation with the eastern neighbourhood, which is at the core of foreign policy priorities of the new member states discussed in this report. The report looks at the Central-European positions, attitudes and reactions towards the Union for Mediterranean and Eastern Partnership. It also aims at outlining the Central European perspectives on the future of the ENP and potential for regional cooperation with regard to the Eastern Partnership, notably with 2011 Hungarian and Polish EU Presidencies in mind.
