In Eastern Europe the United States was understood during 1945 to 1989 as an issue of liberty, and as a consequence of this, every philosophical and political concept adopted by Washington was considered as supreme truth. In 1990 it was time to discover and to apply a lot of concepts that represented for the United States (first) and the European Union (second) human rights. One of those rights was the right to a good administration. It was adopted first by European Union, and, after 1990, by the rest of former communist Europe. It was adopted because the USA's influence in promoting democracy was huge and because states understood that a real democracy must be closer to the citizens. The paper will try to answer some questions such as: Was the right to a good administration an expression of the USA in Eastern Europe or of the European Union in this part of the continent? Is the right to a good administration is the same in the USA as in Eastern Europe, or is it necessary for people and governments from this part of the world to adapt this concept to a particular situation? For all of these questions every state of Eastern Europe must provide its own answer, but our text will try to give an answer from Bucharest.
