Summary/Abstract: This article tries to highlight the strenghts and weakness of the European Union in the effort of building an European identity. The recent elections fom May 2014, as the results indicated, lead to the conclusion that the european citizen feels much closer to their national identity. Therefore, we will infer, that there are still different perceptions of the citizens from the Member States upon the meaning and importance of EU citizenship as the core of European identity.
