Understand

Eastern European countries except Bulgaria and Romania share a common recent history, having been republics of former Soviet Union.

Eastern Europe is sometimes confused with the Eastern Bloc, which is a Cold War name for communist countries that were behind the "iron curtain". Eastern Bloc included all the countries of Eastern Europe, several countries of Central Europe and individual countries on other continents, particularly in Asia.

Only the Baltic states are members of European Union. Bulgaria and Romania will join EU in 2007.
