Is it a political or geographical definition?

The exact centre of Europe is basically Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. How far east you have to go to be in Eastern Europe is debatable, but in sociogeographic terms, those who are more closely aligned to Russia would be considered Eastern Europeans. In contrast, those who now align themselves to Western Europe (such as Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Slovenia, etc) would all be Central Europeans.

Politically it was traditioanlly the East / West German Border, but I suspect it's now shifted to the German / Polish border or thereabouts. If you want to go down the geographical route it's somewhere around 20 degrees East, but that would include bits of Sweden and the whole of Finland which most people don't conceive as being Eastern Europe. I suspect it's more usually the political definition that is used.

It ends in Croatia,and Eastern Europe begins with Serbia,and keep in mind that Greece is completely in SI Europe.Don't forget either that Turkey is only 10% geographically in Europe,the rest in Asia.

I really dont know they are all joining the European Union so quickly I reckon the political line just moves eastwards towards Turkey!

It's a difference of convienience. There is no politcal nor geographical line of separation.

In the good old days it used to be defined by the old iron curtain
