Abstract: Abstract In January 1990, immediately after the systemic transformation was enforced upon the former socialist countries in Eastern Europe, a summit meeting of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) was held in Paris. At this meeting, Francois Mitterand, then the President of France, raised an alarm in addressing to the European leaders as follows: If the political division is replaced by an economic division, a new crisis shall emerge. A ‘curtain of economic disparity’ taking over the ‘iron curtain’ shall divide Europe into ‘the rich’ and ‘the poor’, creating a new tension in this part of the world.1
