Abstract
The expansion of the European Union and of NATO will leave Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine among a new group of ‘outsiders’. Surveys in the first half of 2000 suggest that Belarusians are more likely than Moldovans or Ukrainians to think of themselves as Europeans, and that Moldovans are the most positive towards the EU itself. Levels of commitment and of knowledge, however, remain low, and there are strong attachments in the other direction, towards Russia and the CIS. These responses, in turn, relate closely to patterns of party support, and they suggest that elites will have limited room for manoeuvre in their foreign policy choices between East and West.
