Doesn't matter. I'm Hungarian and we (education system, media, govt etc) are also big on this Central Europe thing (we are in "the heart of Europe" is a common phrase). This is okay if we're talking about culture and history or geography. But economically speaking there is East and there is West. Grouping Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland etc. into a Central Europe surely makes us feel good, but economically it's ridiculous.
