“…Of main importance in this respect is to use the available text to denote what position a particular part of the elite takes and in what way is this position different from a previous position. In other words, instead of exploring the discourses, as qualitative discourse analysis does (Stanivuković, 2013), or the frames, and/or their frequencies, as content analysis does (Helbling and Tresch, 2011), we move a level above on the ladder of generality to ascribe a particular position to a particular statement based on a theoretical framework of available positions. Hence, the public speech data serves as evidence for the particular elite position on European integration.…”

This article proposes a mixed methods measurement of the mass-elite congruence of opinions on the EU based on a combination of speech and survey data. It focuses on two countries (Bulgaria and Romania) that were known for their pro-European profile until their EU accession, but which faced many political difficulties afterwards. The analysis covers the 2013-2017 period that includes a great deal of these post-accession difficulties. The article illustrates how we can make meaningful comparisons between short-term, dichotomous mass and elite attitudes with timeframes determined by non-electoral events.
