East-Central Europe

This article is about the geopolitical subregion of Europe. For the geographical subregion of Europe, see Central and Eastern Europe.

East-Central Europe is the region between German-, Hungarian-, and West Slavic-speaking Europe and the East Slavic countries of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine.[1][2][failed verification] Those lands are described as situated "between two": "between two worlds, between two stages, between two futures".[3][failed verification]

The concept differs from that of Central and Eastern Europe which is based on criteria[4] whereby the states of Central and Eastern Europe belong to two different geographical regions of Europe.
