This paper explores the intricate relationship between the legal framework of the European Union (EU) and the concept of European identity. The EU's legal structure is widely recognized as not only crucial for the stability and preservation of the Union but also as a key element influencing how citizens identify themselves as Europeans, according to some researchers. The thesis comprises six chapters, drawing upon the works of various authors who delve into the intersections of EU legality and identity. The paper's structure begins with an introduction that introduces the link between European identity and the EU's legal framework. It elucidates how the issue of European identity has gained prominence over the past four decades, and it demonstrates that, based on the EU's legal order, this identity is crafted as a supranational identity. The second chapter delves into the EU's legal structure, its autonomy vis-à-vis its member states, and the obligations assumed by member states upon integration. In the third chapter, the paper explores how identity is rooted in the EU's constitutional aspects, while also examining the significance of EU symbols in reinforcing this identity. Chapter four briefly addresses the concept of a European public sphere as the arena where this identity is practically realized. Chapter five delves into European identity from a political perspective. Finally, the concluding chapter underscores the EU as an ever-evolving political project, with a vision that the EU's identity will progressively permeate the consciousness and daily lives of its citizens.
