Where does Eastern Europe begin ?

The Slovenian journalist Ervin Hladnik Milharcic took the liberty of describing Slovakia as part of Eastern Europe and was promptly corrected when he visited the country. But if Slovakia belongs to Central Europe, the journalist asks, what about the other geographical assignations within the region? "In Poland or the Czech Republic, which once shared borders with Eastern Germany and where the East's western-most borders lie, raising such questions is an extremely awkward matter. Eastern Europe starts beyond their borders...We in Ljubljana or Zagreb react just as strongly when a foreigner unacquainted with local geography ascribes our countries to the Balkans rather than the West, where we ourselves see them, or Southeast Europe, where it's correct to locate them from a political point of view. Actually it's rather comforting to learn that we're not the only ones concerned about improving people's understanding of our geographical affiliations."
