摘要：Forwarding the economic and social progress has been and still is a key target of the European policies. In March 2010 the European Commission launched the 2020 Strategy for a smart, sustainable growth and favorable to inclusion that would continue the Lisbon strategy from 2000. The objective is to overcome the effects of financial and economic crisis from 2008 and prepare the EU economy for the next decade. For analyzing the economic performance of the Central and Eastern European countries, we analyzed economic indicators from 1990 until 2013, with an emphasis on the periods before and after the EU accession. In order to reveal the positive and negative effects, we analyzed comparatively the macroeconomic indicators based on data from national statistics and EUROSTAT.
