The article comprises a concise synthesis of history, the achievements and prospects for further development of the processes European Union eastern enlargement. Initially, these processes concerned the group of post-Communist countries of East and Central Europe which expressed the desire to join the EU. Following long and diffi cult preparations on both sides, 11 states fi nally achieved this in 2004–2013. This has brought very positive results for both the new members and the EU as a whole. However, in the broadly understood East of Europe, there remains a group of countries of which some also aspire to become members of the EU and undertake various efforts to further this goal. The European Union supports these efforts, but it does not have any clearly defi ned policy in this respect. The reason for this are primarily differences of interest on both the EU level and the level of the individual Member States, especially among the most powerful ones among them. At present, everything seems to indicate that the possibilities of swift continuation of the EU eastward enlargement have been exhausted. The candidate countries struggle with a complicated and diffi cult internal and international situation, while in most countries of the ‘old’ EU we can observe a distinct reluctance to see the EU enlarge further. The position of the new members, and especially Poland, will not be of any help here, because while the eastern enlargement is very important to them, they’re voice is not yet strong enough to prevail over the others.

The paper aims to present the current political and economic situation in Central Asia and to examine the present and future role of the European Union in development of the region. The paper identifi es the main areas of the UE’s engagement and the effectiveness of the organisation’s strategy in Central Asia. Central Asia is a region where Sino-Russian interests have always converged. However, in 1970s it attracted the interest of the United States which has attempted to gain infl uence in Central Asia ever since. The regional situation is extremely complicated not only because of political and economic transition in Russia but also the emergence of China as a world superpower and a lack of political stability in post-Soviet republics. Nearly impossible to eliminate sources of terrorism, strong separatist and fundamentalist movements, constitute another threat to regional peace and stability. Hence the role of the EU, which is the world leader in encouraging social and economic development, promoting respect of human rights, democratic rules of governing and establishing free trade rules, appears vital to achieve balanced development in Central Asia.

On 1 May 2004 Poland became a member of the key principal organisation of countries of the old continent - the European Union. As the largest of the group of Eastern and Central European countries, it plays an important role in European Union institutional forums. Over time however, Poland's position has become stronger, as revealed in subsequent summits of the European Council, where we endeavoured to organise a large coalition of the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. This role was particularly evident in arranging common positions in areas such as preparation of the budget, creation of a common energy policy, an energy and climate package, and above all in dealing with the challenges regarding relations with the EU's Eastern neighbours.

This paper addresses the problems of institutional changes in governance and the framing of biodiversity conservation policy at the level of the enlarged European Union. The theoretical basis of the paper is institutional rebuilding in Central and Eastern Europe in the context of the emerging multilevel environmental governance of the EU. The data were collected from desk study research and interviews from five Central and Eastern European countries. The results show that the emergence of multilevel governance with multiple actors' participation is prone to create tensions, but evidence from the countries studied indicates that this is not necessarily a disadvantage.
