From Iraq to Ukraine: EU Foreign Policy and Ambitions of the Small(er) States*
From Iraq to Ukraine: EU Foreign Policy and Ambitions of the Small(er) States*

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the paper was to evaluate already existing contribution of the smaller Central and Eastern European (CEE) states to EU’s common foreign policy during the course of 2003-2004. These two years were chosen deliberately, because during that period of time we were able to observe two dramatic cases. The first case was – the so-called the Iraqi crisis of February 2003, when the smaller CEE states didn’t align themselves with the Franco-German anti-American stance. The second case is the successful mission carried out by the Polish and Lithuanian Presidents and EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) on behalf of the European Union in Kyiv in December 2004.
