Summary/Abstract: The participation of the EU’s Central and Eastern member states in the creation of the Lisbon Treaty is a historic event for this part of the continent and for the Community itself. Thus, it is our goal to outline the specific attitudes, controversies and perspectives springing from the abovementioned part of Europe with regard to the contents and ratification of this document, based on a rigorous selection of the most prominent points of view. Although the predominant tendency is supportive of the Treaty, there have been numerous political debates arguing against it as well, which makes it important to become aware of all the implications of this document for our area of interest.
