The Treaty of Karlowitz signed in 1699 concluded the rule of the Ottoman Empire in most parts of Central and Eastern Europe. Liberation of Osijek in 1687, and consequently of whole Slavonia in 1699 brought a new era of freedom and prosperity to its citizens. At least for a short time, since the Habsburg Monarchy re-established their rule over the country by bringing feudal laws and regulations back into force. Austrian empress and Hungarian-Croatian Queen Maria Theresa united Slavonia with Croatia, and re-established the counties of Virovitica, Požega and Syrmia, meaning that the regional administration of Slavonia was completely relinquished to the civil authorities.

Analysis of the poetics and music of Yiddish folk ballads reveals that the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe did not preserve German songs,widely popular among them up to the beginning of their gradual migration to the east, but instead developed a ballad repertoire of their own.The group of songs, designated as “medieval” by Sophia Magid, the author of a monumental study on the Yiddish ballad, includes both old ballads and those borrowed from the Germans towards the end of the 18th century and later. While the borrowed songs carried a similarity to the German originals as shown in their melodic contours, vocabulary, and plots, the old Yiddish ballads, though generally echoing both Slavic and Western European balladry, differed significantly. The article attempts to identify and characterize this older layer. It apparently first came into being in Central and Eastern Europe in the 15th 16th centuries and continued to develop until the new“urban” ballad emerged in the mid 1800s.The poetics and music of the Yiddish ballad reflect the genre’s hallmark – ballad-singing as a form of communication – which distinguished it from the Yiddish lyric song, performed “for oneself”. The ballad melodies lack melismatic embellishments and dramatic shifts; their tempo is usually moderate; some of them frequently feature the “Ionic minor” rhythmic pattern; many others resemble Klezmer dance music. These features reflect Yiddish ballad aesthetics: music is an ostensibly neutral frame for revealing a narrative that evokes emotions without referring to them directly.Two features of the international ballad canon – readiness to draw material from diverse sources, and a focus on the collective emotional response to key moments of everyday life–stimulated the formation of the indigenous Yiddish tradition. Its character also reflected the remoteness of Eastern Ashkenazi folk culture from rural Slavic folklore, and the lack of a permanent social function of balladsinging in the Ashkenazi tradition.

The procedure of redeeming a crime (compositio) or plata capului/“blood money” (paying the price of the victim) was a practice in the Moldavian Middle Ages and the premodern period, and was commonplace also in the wider space of medieval central and eastern Europe. This practice had implications in the structure of property as well because, in the absence of the money needed to pay the two obligations, most defendants guaranteed with their estates in exchange for the sums required or gave them for sale to people with financial power, who purchased them.

Ethnicity is found in real-world contexts where non-ethnic forms of identification are available. This conclusion is drawn from an empirical study carried out in the multiethnic town of Kurdzhali in Southern Bulgaria, where members of the Bulgarian majority live alongside the Turkish minority. Drawing on the “everyday nationhood” agenda that aims to provide a methodological toolkit for the study of ethnicity/nationhood without overpredicting its importance, the study involved the collection of survey, interview, and ethnographic data. Against the expectations of some experienced scholars of the Central and Eastern Europe region, ethnic identity was found to be more salient for the majority Bulgarians than for the minority Turks. However, the ethnographic data revealed the importance of a rural–urban cleavage that was not predicted by the research design. On the basis of this finding, I argue that the “everyday nationhood” approach could be improved by including a complementary focus on non-ethnic attachments that have been emphasized by scholarship or journalism relevant to the given context. Rather than assuming the centrality of ethnicity, such an “everyday identifications” approach would start from the assumption that ethnic narratives of identity always have to compete with non-ethnic ones.

The aim of the article is to analyse Poland’s energy security in the context of Russia’s neo-imperial policy, treating energy carriers as an instrument of influence and dependence of states, and to rebuild its international position. In line with the geopolitical approach, limiting the energy dependence of Central and Eastern Europe on Russia has not only a purely economic dimension, but concerns the geostrategic future of the European continent and the type of international order to be developed in Europe and in the transatlantic area. Poland’s gas strategy is a case study. Poland decided to finish the contract for the purchase of natural gas from Russia by December 31, 2022. Poland, striving to meet the growing needs for natural gas, undertakes actions aimed at diversifying sources and directions of supplies. Particular emphasis is placed on the concept of Poland as a gas hub developed within the framework of the Three Seas Initiative and a desire to prevent Russia and Germany from building the Nord Stream II pipeline, a project, which is in Poland’s opinion, contradictory with the aim to ensure Europe’s energy security.

The intractable war in Yugoslavia, the breakup of Czechslovakia, the nationalist rumblings in Hungary and Romania, and manifestations of imperial and nationalist longings in Russian politics signify nationalism's enduring potency in Central and Eastern Europe. While some foreign observers worried about this potency, the new elites largely believed that liberalism in power could overcome those forces. Liberal democracy's triumph supposedly meant the end of History,inter alia,aggressive nationalism in Eastern Europe. They believed that these national liberation movements had cooperative, mutually supportive relationships that would flower after Communism ended. Nationalist discords were due to Eastern Europe's previous historical post-1914 nightmares, but the new post-1989 states would have amicable relations with their neighbors. Ostensibly, nationalism, once freed from Soviet repression, would bring an end to Soviet rule and usher in a new ‘springtime of nations.'

This chapter explores mainstream narratives regarding a particular EU migrant group in the UK, namely Roma from the Central and Eastern European EU member states — a group that has been particularly strongly associated with ‘benefit tourism’ due to a number of enduring negative stereotypes. The portrayal of Roma populations as ‘benefit tourists’ has become common within popular media over the last decade, both in the UK and the wider EU. Indeed, Roma are especially vulnerable to such characterisation, as this group has been confronted with majority populations' perceptions and media portrayal of criminality, ‘work-shyness’, and deceitfulness for many years all across the European continent. Furthermore, it is also clear that the content of popular narratives about migrant Roma and ‘benefit tourism’ is not a uniquely British phenomenon. There are prevalent discourses on Roma and welfare not only among established communities in Central and Eastern Europe but also in other locations which have experienced large-scale migration of Roma.
