Did Eastern Europeans( Bulgarians, Poles, Czechs,etc.) ever participate in the colonization and conquest of other continents?
Yes, but only as setlers and mercenaries.
Russia was the only slav empire that had territories outside Europe

Bulgarians tried to take Constantinople, if that counts as invading another continent. Czechs didn't have their own state until recently so nothing to comment on there.
Poland tried to conqueror Russia when it was in the middle of civil wars and a famine. I think it included parts of Asia at the time.

The sailors of the austro-hungarian imperial navy were all croatians of Dalmatia (and italians of Trieste)

German poles pretty commonly went to Germany's colonies abroad. Qingdao and Samoa were pretty popular for them.
Russians conquered and colonized a good chunk of Asia.
They even set foot in Manchuria until the Japs kicked them out.

Courlande (today Latvia) as part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth colonized Tobago in the Caribbeans in 1637 (to 1690) and Banjul in Gambia in 1651 (to 1664)

But as far as I know the courlandish elite were German Balts ( I hope that s the proper english term for Deutschbalten)
I think read something somewhere about Chzech setlers in Rhodesia and South Africa
Can anyone confirm?

Czechs had own state for 128 years since the discovery of Americas, but you simply can't colonize anything if you are landlocked.
That's the reason they don't have immigrants

Poles never did.

Poland-Lithuania's vassal Courland had a colony in the Carribean
Also at the Versailles Conference some of the Polish delegation wanted a piece of the German colonies
