The main purpose of this article is an attempt to answer the question whether the phenomenon of "differentiated integration" can accelerate a federal system in the European Union. The starting point of the method used in the article is an attempt to define the terms federation and confederation, as well as to distinguish the federal and confederal characteristics of the previous processes of integration in Europe. Then three main models of differentiated integration in the political discourse on the future of the integration in Europe are examined. Analysis of these models indicates whether they favor a more federal structure in Europe or hinder this systemic change, among others, enhancing confederal features of the political system in the European Union. The main conclusions of a theoretical nature are then confronted with the analysis of changes in the European integration during the eurozone crisis (2010-2014). Did it favor reforms towards a democratic federation in Europe? Could the trend towards differentiated integration (or forming the so-called Two-speed Europe) facilitate such federation? Or could it serve very different political and systemic tendencies in Europe?
