Sažetak
There are different static and dynamic effects of regional integrating which, in fact, represent economic motives for regional economic integrating. However, effects which occur can be both, positive and negative. In 2004, ten countries entered the EU expecting positive effects of accession to this regional integration. Accession to the EU represented the basis for their national growth and development strategies. This paper analyses these countries seven years after joining the EU in order to see whether expected positive effects occurred, whether they achieved convergence criteria, how fast, and in which magnitude. Also, one of the goals of the paper is to see whether all countries experienced positive effects, or only some of them. Conducted analysis will help to understand better potential effects of regional integration for potential new EU countries and to have more realistic expectations about it.
