Fifth wave of EU integration, which overcame space of Central and Eastern Europe, became logical end of long process of definition and transformation of former participants of “communist camp”. Then, basic attention of politicians and public of these countries was paid to providing of accordance of national interests to the requirements of European Union, known as “Copenhagen criteria”. In fact, foreign policy in 1991-2004 was the time of active consultations of representatives of Central and Eastern European countries concerning EU enlargement. However, EU access on the contrary caused the problem question of correlation of national foreign policies and official line of EU about common foreign and defence policy.
