BELGRADE, Serbia - After 16 years on the run, a frail and haggard Ratko Mladic was hauled before a judge Thursday - the first step in facing charges for international war crimes, including the Srebrenica massacre. No longer the fearsome, bull-necked military commander, Mladic was arrested by intelligence agents in a raid before dawn at a relative's house in a village in northern Serbia. The act was trumpeted by the government as a victory for a country worthy of European Union membership and Western embrace.

Under the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, a single currency called the "euro" was adopted, and economic criteria for membership in the European Monetary Union were established. The objectives of the Maastricht Treaty were to eliminate the costs connected with several European currencies, increase both currency and international stability, and stimulate economic growth and employment with a more efficient single market and European integration. The individual Member States and the European Union as a whole would benefit with free circulation of goods, services, people, and capital among the Member States ("What is," n.d., p. 2-3). On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen existing European Union (EU) Member States joined the EMU: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lux...
BELGRADE, Serbia - After 16 years on the run, a frail and haggard Ratko Mladic was hauled before a judge Thursday - the first step in facing charges for international war crimes, including the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. No longer the fearsome, bull-necked military commander, Mladic was arrested by intelligence agents in a raid before dawn at a relative's house in a village in northern Serbia. The act was trumpeted by the government as a victory for a country worthy of European Union membership and Western embrace.
SOMERVILLE, Mass., March 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- New sales, strategic partnerships, and membership in the European Union's wind energy association signal a growing presence for Second Wind in Europe's wind energy market. Already established in Europe as a developer of tower-based wind resource assessment systems, Second Wind is making deeper inroads due to growing adoption of the company's Triton Sonic Wind Profiler. With 40 units already deployed in Europe, Second Wind will introduce a heated version of Triton to the European wind power industry at the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) Conference in Brussels next week. This version of Triton has an inbuilt catalytic heater to melt snow from the sound-reflecting mirror to enable high quality data recovery even during periods of h...
In this paper, the authors study Turkey's current and future economic conditions and shade some prospects into the prognosis of its probable European Union (EU) membership. Turkey's drive to join the union has faced numerous challenges over the years. Primary inspiration for EU integration transpires from the idea of creating a single market for goods, services, and capital among the union members. Multivariate analysis of Mahalanobis squared distance, canonical correlation, and canonical discriminant analysis show that currently Turkey do not have similar economic status nor the prognosis in near future for them to be a member of the union on the basis of economic profile that the authors have considered in this paper. Therefore, Turkey would like to place a considerable emphasis on th...
Cyprus: Slim win NICOSIA -- Hard-line challenger Dervis Eroglu won a key Turkish Cypriot leadership election Sunday, vowing to continue peace talks amid fears his victory could grind reunification negotiations with the Greek Cypriots to a halt and scuttle Turkey's bid for European Union membership. Eroglu won just enough votes for an outright victory, with 50.38 percent, compared to leftist incumbent Mehmet Ali Talat's 42.85 percent, according to results posted on the Turkish Cypriot High Electoral Board's Web site. Candidates needed 50 percent plus one vote to avoid a runoff.
It ended unexpectedly-and, perhaps, happily-with the opposing sides backing down, and with international officials approving the initialing of a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA), a first step toward eventual Bosnian accession to European Union membership. Upon yet another defeat of police reform measures, in mid-October Lajcak introduced procedural reforms streamlining parliamentary and ministerial voting processes, and giving the relevant bodies until Dec. 1 to pass the reforms; otherwise, he said, he would decree them law.
Demons of the past haunt much of Central and Eastern Europe, where the residue of 45 years of communist rule has yet to yield to constructive democratic forces. Nationalist witch hunts, populist demagoguery, frequent government changes, high unemployment and the flight of skilled labor hamper efforts to integrate the vast area of more than 100 million inhabitants added to the European Union's membership nearly three years ago.
Two extraordinary events took place in Europe last week. In Moscow, some 40,000 people took to the streets to protest fraudulent parliamentary elections that nevertheless greatly reduced the ruling party's majority. The protest was the biggest anti-government demonstration since the fall of the Soviet Union. There were also protests in St. Petersburg and other Russian cities. More than 1,000 people have been arrested. The other major event was the British veto of an economic reform treaty, supported by 26 out of the 27 members of the European Union. Nobody ever thought the British would exercise their right to veto something agreed upon by the rest of Europe, but that's exactly what Prime Minister David Cameron did. Europe is not only aghast, but angry and deeply divided. In Britain, of...
