Summary/Abstract: This article refers to the interplay of democracy and authoritarianism in Median Europe (Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia). We are interested in the period covering the beginning of the 19th century, passing from communism and the hope of democracy after 1989. Also, there are differences among countries belonging to the Median Europe. The Czech Republic, Hungary or Poland have managed to leave behind them communist customs and better practice democracy. The situation is not the same in Romania or Bulgaria. Furthermore, religion has a word to say. Catholicism harmonizes better with orthodoxy then orthodoxy.
