Oh joy – we could have another Balkan domino effect on our hands… Nice one, Kosovo! (Or is that altogether too simplistic? Methinks I need some expert opinion…)

Nice overview of the shoddy compromise Merkel finally agreed to allow Sarkozy to get through. Definite shame, this – a missed opportunity. Boo to Merkel!

Yet more Kosovo fallout. Impact? Unknown… Transdniester could be interesting, though, what with Moldova aiming for EU membership…

“The government needs the votes of at least 14 PiS members of parliament to achieve the two-thirds majority necessary for parliamentary ratification of the document” – interesting…

Nice overview – after all that you really have to wonder why the hell they still bother with the two seats charade. Just whack everything in Brussels – much easier, surely?

Ah, more Turkish paradoxes! Secularism good – but nationalism bad and banning freedom of religion bad. But on the other hand, rise of Islamist tendencies also bad. Tricky…
