>By definition "Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, to the southeast by the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea and the waterways connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. To the east, Europe is generally divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and by the Caspian Sea."... which then includes all of Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Albania, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Georgia, Russia and probably a few more that I forgot - all of which EU tries to ignore and exclude from definition of Europe whenever they can.
