what is eastern Europe for you?

[brennus dux gallorum]

well, that's very subjective.

i personally agree with the recommendations of the German Standing Committee on Geographical Names based on cultural proximities

Purely garbage.

This

Is the most accurate of what i have seen so far in the net, based on sources and measurements insead of "personal impression" of the author of the previous map

The map that you showed apart from being completely inaccurate from every single criteria, its liked only by people from ex-communistic countries

Everyone has own definition. Mine would be from a cultural and historical perspective.
Western Europe is made up of Protestant Northern Europe, Catholic Latin Southern Europe and Central Europe which would be Catholic Non-Latin Europe thus roughly from Hungary to France.

Eastern Europe is the Orthodox civilization. Bulgaria, Greece, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, Romania and few others.
Muslim minorities in the Orthodox countries are more alien though and do not qualify for Eastern Europe.

Kosovo, Bosnia, Turkey are not Eastern Europe.

Which study? The only balkan country that i have seen to be close in statistics and studies to italy or spain is Greece. Not that Serbia is close to Russia but.. italy and spain?

This is division of Europe according to UN (not that I agree with it, but to remind you some very important global bodies like United Nations see Serbia as south euro)

McDonals after the 90s = Eastern Europe




Serbia is more Western than all of you larpers

There is no orthodox civilization. Russia has more in common with poland and Greece with south and central italy than either of the two with Bulgaria

Why is Via Carpathia taking so long to be completed?



Are the folks arguing if it is an Eastern, Central or Southern European street?

I don't think so, but who knows
After a short research for my area(Białystok-Lublin part) it's mostly because they still didn't find a company which would make it. Also all procedures to make a project were highly delayed(protests etc because they had to go through Biebrza National Park and decision was made without agreement of local people, still there's no agreement). I found an articles saying it will be ready to 2024, now I found ones with deadline at 2029. I guess countries which had shorter distances to prepare as Slovakia or Greece finished their work though

I don't see lot of similarities between Polish and Russian culture. If you ask me, Bulgaria is undobutedly closer to Russia than Poland is. Even liguisticaly.

What is Mediterranean about Pyreenes, Galicia or Padania, remind me please?
Southern Europe isn't only limited to shores of Med Sea. I don't see Serbia as southern Euro though, but southeastern which is obviously either south part of east or east part of south depending on the perspective. Or simply both.
