The distinctive feature of the discourse of Galician regionalism is "Central Europe." In terms of the political criticism of the Ukrainian state expressed by Galician regionalism, this state as a whole is too slow, or not at all eager to enter this particular space, in which Galicia shares while the rest of Ukraine does not. I would argue that "Central Europe" in this case covers Galicia's longing for the modern nation-state that contemporary Ukraine is failing to consolidate (in the address cited at the beginning of the paper Central Europe is imagined as a circle of free nations).
