Geographical subregion
This article is about the geographical subregion of Europe. For the geopolitical subregion of Europe, see
East-Central Europe .
Central and Eastern Europe is a geopolitical term encompassing the countries in Northeast Europe (primarily the Baltics ), Central Europe , Eastern Europe , and Southeast Europe (primarily the Balkans ), usually meaning former communist states from the Eastern Bloc and Warsaw Pact in Europe , as well as from former Yugoslavia . Scholarly literature often uses the abbreviations CEE or CEEC for this term.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) also uses the term "Central and Eastern European Countries" (CEECs) for a group comprising some of these countries. This term is sometimes used as an alternative to the term "Eastern Europe," for more neutral grouping.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
