The Czech Republic and Slovakia are the biggest gainers (each up by three points) followed by Latvia, Bulgaria and Belarus (each up by three points).
Estonia (69 points), Poland (61 points), Lithuania and Slovenia (ex equo with 58 points) are still the region’s leaders. The four countries have maintained their last year’s position in the ranking.
