“…This can be described as the Easternisation of the EU (cf. Cohen, 2007). This is a use of the term in a new context, bearing in mind that the label "Easternisation" is also used when referring to EU/Western/European relations with non-Western/Eastern states/economies (specifically the shift of economic power from the West to the East).…”

“…Fourthly, the CEE is traditionally and strongly linked to the post-Soviet space, which creates pressure on the EU policy-making, as it (the EU) seeks to weaken these (not only economic) ties (O'Brennan, 2006). Simultaneously, the EU is forced to consider the Eastern direction through the security dimension (Cohen, 2007). Finally, the importance of this influence can be seen in geopolitical terms over the last decade.…”

The EU’s Eastern enlargement in 2004 was marked by the entry of mostly smaller states, whose ability to shape the external direction of the EU was questioned. However, the EU’s response to the war in Ukraine has shown how important the Eastern dimension of external policy is for the EU and that this Easternisation of the EU has occurred precisely in the wake of the 2004 enlargement. This is due to the fact that these states have been able to push their own narratives in the discourse on the EU’s Eastern direction, particularly in the case of the Eastern Partnership. This article analyses the discourse of Central and Eastern European states regarding the Eastern partnership, specifically the narratives of the official documents of three Baltic and four Visegrad group countries in the 2009–2022 period. The analysis made it possible to identify narrative structures and showed that the narratives are relatively similar in the selected countries. Despite the lack of cooperation between the two groups and the West’s neglect of the Eastern Partnership policy, they were able to individually strengthen their position in the EU and maintain the discussion about the Eastern Partnership at the EU level as a result.
