Slovaks and Czechs generally see Central Europe as lands of the former Habsburg Empire.
Is it true that Central Europe for Poles means Intermarium (everything between Germany and Russia) and for Hungarians it's the Danube Area (all countries with Hungarian minorities)?

no it's your pic plus Bavaria and Poland minus Bosnia
For many people here central europe is only Austria, Switzerland and Germany. This is from the cold war era but it sticks in peoples heads somehow.
Central Europe is v4 + maybe Austria and Slovenia

for me Central Europe is all the countries that were commie/yugo but now are in the EU, it's the most useful geopolitical definition
former Habsburg Empire? is it 1919?
Latvia, Lithuania and Romania are Central Europe

pretty much this, yeah
Germany's Central European character died with Prussia, they have far more in common with countries like Belgium and Denmark today. An argument can still be made for Austria.
The border between Eastern and Western Europe lies between Poland ang Germany. Central Europe is a myth.

No, for us Central Europe is everything between Germany and orthodox realm.

I never heard anyone seriously claiming Croatia or Bosnia or Romania as CE.
On the other hand it's not really an everyday topic.

I've read it in the interview with Jacques Rupnik. That's why I made this thread.

>Posledným variantom strednej Európy je V4. Tá sa zviditeľnila v rámci odmietania povinných kvót. Ako vnímate, že sa teraz vytvára nová forma tohto regiónu?
>"Jedným z dôvodov, prečo je ťažké dať dokopy krajiny strednej Európy, je, že každý má inú definíciu tohto priestoru. Pre Poliakov je to priestor od Nemecka k Rusku, kde by mohli zahŕňať aj Bielorusko a Ukrajinu. Pre Čechov a Slovákov je to Rakúsko-Uhorsko. Pre Maďarov je to, čomu oni hovoria dunajský priestor - teda všade, kde sú maďarské menšiny.
