This article will consider how the sense of belonging to Europe has been in a constant progression despite prolonged periods of inertia. The argument is that European identity is being slowly acquired despite the negative debate and inconsistency in the integration process. Have the vicissitudes of the last 14 years in the European adventure actually contributed positively to the development of the concept of European Identity? We will look at the recent European problems, numerous remarkable initiatives, undermined by the current economic crisis and political vulnerability and examine the mechanisms, which despite the missed opportunity of the Constitutional Treaty and the symbolism it would have provided could develop sense of belonging to Europe. How could under the Lisbon Treaty with some mechanisms and novelties bring European people together? Is the present Treaty creating a favourable context for development of sense of belonging?(fragment of text)
