Summary/Abstract: Back-to-Europe and post-communist transition were the main objectives of Central European countries at the beginning of 90’s. After 2004, when most of the CEE countries acceded to EU membership, followed by Romania and Bulgaria in 2007, a new transition began. This is a transition to knowledge society, as defined by Lisbon Agenda, whose objectives are not political, but economic, social and educational. This paper is devoted to the new transition process where the performance of each CEE country will depend on its human resources, tradition and management capacities.
