Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper compares and contrasts government information services and public attitudes towards the EU enlargement process in the UK as a member-state and Bulgaria as a candidate-country. The findings indicate that government public statements tend to have reached a greater degree of uniformity than public perceptions. In their public messages, the governments of both the UK and Bulgaria demonstrate a consistent support for the enlargement process. Public opinion, however, especially in the member-state, still shows a significant degree of uncertainty as regards to the expected effects of enlargement. From both sides of the enlargement process people feel uninformed about the practicalities of the EU expansion. Therefore, governments need to make an additional public diplomacy effort by improving the functioning of their information services and their interaction with the media to bridge the gaps both between government messages and national public attitudes and public perceptions in the member state and the candidate country.
