 Montenegro - Part 3 

posted by julia 18 years ago
The Montenegrin draft constitution has been discussed in Parliament since January 2007, a draft document was aproved in July 2007, but there are still some very contentious issues, such as the term used for Montenegro's official language (Montenegrin? Serb?), minority rights, and decentralisation. Read more in an interesting background article by Nedjeljko Rudovic/Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN).

 Western Balkans and EU - Part 40 

posted by julia 18 years ago
The last Eurobarometer was published recently. According to the first results, 49% of EU citizens were in favor of further enlargement of the EU in April - May 2007 (compared to 46% a year ago). "On this matter, it is typical to see a difference in opinion between the newer Member States of the Union and those who have been Members for a longer period of time, with citizens of the former tending to be largely enthusiastic about further enlargement and feelings more mixed in citizens of the latter. This is again the case here, with average support running at 68% in the twelve new Member States and 43% in the former EU15 countries." (quote from Eurobarometer first results (pdf), p. 30 ff.)
