NEB interviewing started in October 2004, five months after eight countries that had once belonged to the communist bloc became EU members and their citizens became eligible to vote in the election of the European Parliament. Bulgaria and Romania were subsequently admitted in January 2007, The Ukraine survey was carried out in February 2005, shortly after opposition presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was elected but before the March 2006 parliamentary election was won by the party of his opponent during the presidential race, Viktor Yanukovich.

In a few instances, current Russian public opinion is cited from a New Russia Barometer survey carried out in April 2007. The surveys have been funded over the years by many institutions, starting with the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research and the Austrian National Bank in cooperation with the Paul Lazarsfeld Society, Vienna. Most recent surveys have been principally funded by the British Economic and Social Research Council RES 062 23 0341.

7. Indeed, in the years just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, there was no assurance that new states would survive. The breakup of Yugoslavia beginning in 1991 and the bloody fighting that lasted for years was a palpable reminder that even state boundaries were up for grabs. The 1993 breakup of Czechoslovakia was completely peaceful and the Baltic states regained independence with only a dozen lives lost. From Moldova to the Caucasus, however, there is continuing evidence of force being used to decide state boundaries.
