Foster's world best in the 50m butterfly of 22.87secs was broken in Melbourne on Saturday by Australia's Geoff Huegill.
But, unlike Price, Foster is not aiming to claim it back in Antwerp. He said: "I've said all along that I'm not going for any records this week. I'll be expecting medals in both my events, but I'm not sure what colour.
"I've already raced well in Italy and New York so far, and I'm swimming faster than this time last year, when I only just missed out on gold.
"I don't know what's going to happen this week in Antwerp. I know Huegill broke my world record in the 50 metres butterfly, but records are there to be beaten. He won't be worldrecord holder after the World Short-Course Championships next year, that I am sure of."
Foster, 31, still holds the shortcourse 50m freestyle world best time.
Great Britain is fielding 25 swimmers in the four-day Antwerp event, which starts tomorrow.
Although national performance director Bill Sweetenham will be delighted with any medals won, he sees the Europeans as an opportunity to bring some of Britain's most exciting junior talent on to the international stage.
Robin Francis, 19, from Bath, who broke the British long-course record for the 400m individual medley at Bath last weekend, will be hoping to impress on his first senior international appearance.
Francis, also the British 400m individual medley short-course record holder, said: "It'll be my first senior event, so I'll take it as it comes, but after my form at Bath, who knows what I can do?
"I've been based at Bath for just over a year now. I feel stronger than ever before and I'm training a lot more than I have in previous years, so I feel very confident for the future."
For veteran James Hickman, who has won gold in the Europeans in both the 100m and 200m butterfly in recent years, Antwerp could prove to be a litmus test of his form.
"I'd love to get back on the medals rostrum. I've had the worst year of my career so far, so swimming well this week will help me get back my confidence.
"I'm the sort of person who wants to win races. It might take a world record to win, but I'm happy to give it a shot."
