Sažetak

The article presents the works of a number of authors who have, in the last couple of years, been trying to critically analyze the relationship between Eastern and Western Europe or between Europe and the countries which have not yet become EU members, mostly relying on concepts borrowed from postcolonial theory. The starting premise of this article is that there is a rather firm social consensus in Croatia according to which entering the EU is a question of political priority, and the question raised is whether some existing theoretical concepts can help us explain this silent agreement regarding the ‘return to Europe’.
