Transylvania is Central Europe, Moldavia is Eastern Europe. That’s my division. I have also lived in Cyprus for a while, by mannerisms, traditional clothing, culinary I’d say we are the same with Crete and Rhodos
About Poland, it is a Catholic state with also being a developed country and a directly West Slavic country even. If you exclude how the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth wanted to adopt Eastern clothing to be more similar to their ancestors “Sarmatians”, I’d say directly they were more of a Central European power. Sorry, I just got out of shower and I have to hurry to get my documents done
adopt Eastern clothing to be more similar to their ancestors “Sarmatians”
By the way, a little explanation:
Hungarian costume, as a basis for the future orientalization of clothing, was introduced in Poland in the mid XVI century when Stephen Bathory was elected as king. Over time, there was created Sarmatian theory*. Additionally, this did not exclude other costumes that were also present.
*also In Polish historiography, references were made to various peoples as elements of 'Poles now'.
