In general, Western Europeans, and the Danes in particular, cling to negative stereotypes of fellow EU citizens fromthe former Eastern bloc. Hungary and Poland, however, at the helm of Europe in 2011 are likelier to make a bigger splash than provincial Denmark when it takes over the EU presidency in 2012. 
For the European press, the publication of the annual “progress report” on prospective candidates for EU accession, has failed to dispel the general apathy that surrounds the question of enlargement. 
Published transcripts of wiretapped conversations between media moguls, politicians and journalists are revealing the incestuous world of Romanian politics. 
The new far right not only exerts a growing influence on national governments, it is also organising at a European level and could soon weigh heavily on the very workings of the EU, warns French columnist Bernard Guetta. 
Forget Angela Merkel’s treaty changes or David Cameron’s budget quibbles, the real event at last week Brussels summit was that Europe took an important step towards becoming a single state. 
Why decide to revise a treaty that only came into force last year? In the wake of the decision by Europe’s 27 member states, which aims to protect the single currency, the European press is far from impressed. 
In Brussels, 28/29 October, France and Germany will try to persuade their EU partners to modify some of the EU's cornerstone texts in order to create a culture of budgetary rigour. A simplistic and useless idea, according to a Spanish editorialist. 
Angela Merkel tells it like it is. That's the problem. Her plan to push through penalties for overindebted states at the 28 October European Council meeting is a good one, says Die Süddeutsche Zeitung. But it is also guaranteed to put the backs up of many members states, who will see an over-dominant Germany behind her good sense. 
On 25 October, the union’s 27 member states decided to forward Belgrade’s request for EU accession to the European Commission. But the process that is now underway will still have to overcome a significant number of obstacles, reports Serbian daily Blic. 
The crisis is forcing European states to make unprecedented cuts in their defence budgets, leaving their armed forces short on men and means – and eventually eroding their technological edge. 
The security summit at Deauville, France, saw the first inklings of a new European geopolitical order. Instead of an EU buttressed by a NATO expanding eastwards comes a "trilateral" Europe, sustaining Turkey's European ambitions and keeping Russia on board. 
Letting Russia join NATO — the new big idea of the alliance's strategists — might make sense to some, but to others who still fear the bear's claws, it is pure folly.
