Summary/Abstract: 2004 was a breakthrough year for Poland’s policy in Central Europe. On 1 May 2004 the accession of eight of the region’s states (including Poland) to the European Union profoundly altered the framework of their mutual relations and of their relations with those countries in the broadly construed Central Europe which remained outside the EU and were now forming its immediate environment. As another momentous development, seven countries of the region were admitted to the North Atlantic Alliance.
