What an extrange polemic i generated

How ? This have nothing with the communism at all. Even during the communism Czechoslovakia was always central european country, this is just normal, when you take at least one second look at the maps

Claiming Slovakia is in Eastern Europe is the same nonsense as saying Mexico is in North America. this is just unreal, that peoples still do not get it...or it is just a attempt to upset peoples ?

The're only relative geographical terms after all. When you've grown up 20 miles from the Atlantic coast, anything past Luxembourg is 'Easten Europe'.

I am a bit distrustful towards anything that uses 'BGR' as abbreviation for Bulgaria  I think I am too used to IOC codes

Oh well, according to @hckosice any place within 750 kilometers of a large body of water is a coastal region and according to me any country with at least one 500m+ hill is a mountain country, so there we are
