The course gave in-depth knowledge about the concept of Eastern Europe. During the course multidisciplinary approach was implemented in the search of answers to questions, such as current political and social trends in the region, as well as changes in the region. The course included a lot of independent work, as for the assignments (essays, discussion etc.) one had to study and apply the knowledge of lectures and research articles. The work load was reasonable and depended on the time used for the assignments and essays.
