In this article I verify the thesis that changes in integration processes carried out during the crisis of the euro zone proceed in three main directions. Firstly, towards the strengthening of intergovernmentalism and political power of the largest Member States. Secondly, towards the increase in formal and informal competences of the EU technocratic institutions, including the European Commission and the ECB. Both institutions have yielded to political pressure from powerful governments. This led to a reduction in autonomy of these institutions and their stronger subordination to the most influential Member States. Thirdly, the crisis has provided an opportunity to reinforce the segmentation in Europe. Although it is not known whether these modifications are temporary or have a more lasting nature — they could nevertheless influence the future of the EU.
