The secessionist region of Moldova is to hold presidential elections on 11 December — a vote that will be marked by a strange bargain between its Russian protector and Germany, which aims to resolve a conflict that has been deadlocked for 20 years. 
Macedonians, Moldavians and Ukrainians are jostling to obtain a Bulgarian passport. Many plan to leave for other countries in the European Union, but first they must confront the Bulgarian administration. 
As the Eastern Partnership summit opens in Warsaw, the EU, which is caught up in the ongoing financial crisis, appears to have little enthusiasm for the project, launched by Poland in 2008. As for the partner countries, they continue to present a wide spectrum of political systems, ranging from dictatorship to democracy.
Two years ago, led by Poland, the EU launched its Eastern Partnership with countries of the former USSR. Now that Warsaw is preparing to take over the rotating presidency, experts are painting a rather dispiriting outcome for this project. 
Two years after the popular uprising christened the “Twitter Revolution” that drove the communists from power in Moldova, disillusionment has set in, writes a Moldovan journalist. 
The 350,000-or-so people living in the separatist Transniestria region want to integrate with Russia despite a new wave of euro-optimism on the other side of its unofficial border with Moldova. But their views are shaped by decades of repression. 
Is there a way to satisfy a need to grow the labour force and set right the wrongs of history? In differing contexts, Hungary, Romania and Spain have found a solution, reintegrating “compatriots” living abroad. Here, a conservative Polish columnist offers his own peculiar remedy for the immigration “threat”... 
On 28 November, Moldovans will go to the polls to elect a new government. The vote, which will prove crucial in the country’s bid to overcome a political and social crisis, will also play a determining role in a choice between pro-European or pro-Russian policies. Many Moldovan emigrants in Europe are hoping for an outcome that will allow them to return home. 
Over the past few months, Bucharest has doled out Romanian passports to over a hundred thousand Moldovans – and now intends to step up the process. But other European countries are beginning to balk at this backdoor integration of the ex-Soviet republic into the European common area. 
The Eurovision Song Contest is not just a festival of tackiness, cheese and camp, argues Irish author Martina Devlin. It’s also a chance to have a look at the countries with whom we now have inextricable links. 
Changing our energy system is the key to curbing CO2 emissions and global warming. In the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Conference (COP15), the European Union has announced plans to generate 20% of its energy using renewable sources. 
Pressing ahead with its worldwide expansion agenda, China is now snatching up contracts in highly-indebted Eastern Europe. Beijing is hell bent on out-leveraging the Western competition there by offering dumping prices and cheap loans. But this is not just about fat contracts, writes the Handelsblatt: the Middle Kingdom is also buying political sway.
Since becoming part of the European Union, Romania has become host to tens of thousands of young Moldovans have gone there to study. Once enrolled, they can apply for passports which they see as their ticket to the EU. 
After elections in April, which sparked protests in the streets and returned a parliament that was unable to elect a president, Moldovans are returning to the polls for an early general election on 29 July. National daily Timpul wonders if the communists will retain power, and whether the electorate will opt for a Western or Eurasian political model. 
Even after a week of protests disputing incumbent President Ahmadinejad’s landslide victory in the Iranian election, the EU still keeps a low diplomatic profile. Several newspapers across the continent are suggesting that this might have something to do with European economic interests in the Islamic republic. 
Moldavian writer Vitalie Ciobanu remembers his grandmother's love story with an Italian soldier during World War 2, and sees a metaphor for relations between Europe and Moldavia.
