Central Europe according to P. Jones (Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography). Many Central European countries and regions were parts of the German and the Austro-Hungarian empires, or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; thus they also have historical and cultural connections. Therefore it is totally wrong to place some formerly communist European states in Eastern Europe. There are many definitions of Eastern Europe. One definition describes Eastern Europe as a cultural (and econo-cultural) entity: the region lying in Europe with main characteristics consisting in Byzantine, Orthodox, and some Turco-Islamic influences. This would mean that Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Serbia, FYROM, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbajdzan, Turkey and Greece are in Eastern Europe.
