Eastern accession countries
Hi Natalie,
I'd go for Eastern accession countries. This is also what I first thought when I saw your posting. I've heard it used quite a lot.
HTH,
Sarah

On second thoughts, Alison is right of course - you have to mention something about the EU Eastern accession countries of the EU, maybe.

Neil Gouw
: just "accession countries" would do too, since Malta and Cyprus aren't really eastern European.

: Neil just "accession countries" is different, since the original text is explicitel talking about Ljubljana as excelling among the eastern states

Mario Marcolin
: "Eastern accession countries" would allow for the fact that Slovenia is a Central European rather than East European country..
