Fraud in the organic farming sector has become a thriving international industry made up of a complex network of companies that bears all the marks of traditional organised crime.
Moldova is preparing to install check points at the border with its breakaway republic of Transnistria, while Russia and the Ukraine hope to speed up negotiations on settling this 20-year-old conflict. The European Union may find itself dragged into a diplomatic standoff.
When a Moldovan visits Belarus, “the last true dictatorship at the heart of Europe”, a comparison with the Soviet era is inevitable. And yet the people of Belarus look towards Europe as much as they look towards Moscow.
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.
In general, Western Europeans, and the Danes in particular, cling to negative stereotypes of fellow EU citizens fromthe former Eastern bloc. Hungary and Poland, however, at the helm of Europe in 2011 are likelier to make a bigger splash than provincial Denmark when it takes over the EU presidency in 2012.
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.
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.
