Russia-Moldova: Must we choose between gas and the EU?
17 September 2012511PresseuropJurnal de Chisinau, Timpul
Ever since Latvia gained independence with the dissolution of the USSR, the status of the Russian minority has remained a divisive issue. Following a referendum on the use of the Russian language, today the focus of debate is on the question of citizenship. 
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. 
The EU's Cyprus solution reveals how it wants to limit Russian influence in the Mediterranean and crack down on international tax havens. While the rescue plan may be a victory for the EU, Moscow could be the long term winner, warns a Czech journalist. 
Cyprus is not the only island nation to roll out the red carpet for Russia’s riches. Since the Soviet Union’s collapse, London has welcomed Russian expatriates who made their fortunes plundering the collapsing state, but at what cost, asks a British journalist.
Thousands of tonnes of chemical weapons sunk in the Baltic Sea after WWII pose a lethal hazard to humans and the environment. After 70 years at the bottom of the sea, the corroded containers risk leaking deadly poisons, warns a Polish journalist. 
Russia, despite owning a large chunk of the cash deposited in the island’s banks, is resisting the increasingly desperate pleas for aid from the Cypriot government. Instead of rushing in, the Great Bear is sitting back and awaiting the Europeans’ next move. 
One out of four Portuguese young people is unemployed. To find work, these youngsters are ready to become expatriates, and the languages they learn before leaving - German, Russian, Chinese or Arabic - draw a map of their new promised lands. 
Hard-hit by the crisis, Lisbon is wooing rich investors from its former colonies. Anyone who invests in the country has a good chance of obtaining a visa — and an open door to the rest of Europe. 
Against a backdrop of global crisis, the battle for resources is set to escalate in 2013. At a time when the EU is turning to Russia for its energy needs, one of its member states could supply the others with agricultural produce. But for this to happen, Romanians will have to take full advantage of their country’s assets. 
They come for the sea, sun, for peace and quiet ... and business opportunities. Taking advantage of old historical and cultural ties, more and more Russians are settling the former Yugoslav republic and EU member candidate Montenegro. 
The EU, the IMF and the government of Cyprus are negotiating a 10-billion euro bailout for the country’s ailing banks. Brussels doesn’t want to let the country go bankrupt. But there is a danger that the financial injection could be used to launder dirty money that passes through financial institutions on the island. 
Whoever takes the White House for the next four years, Europe must face the facts: it is no longer considered a strategic priority by the United States. Europe must therefore reinforce its common defence structures and spearhead decisive diplomatic initiatives towards Russia and the Mediterranean countries, suggests a French commentator. 
The October 28 general election is expected to confirm President Yanukovych’s power and the need for renewal of what remains of the Orange revolution. But in the long term, the country’s enduring crisis will lead to some form of normality, argues a Ukrainian journalist. 
New nuclear reactors are become a rarity in Europe, which makes the case of the Czech Republic's Temelín power station all the more interesting, for which the Russians and Americans are engaged in a competition that involves politicians, lobbyists and secret services. 
In spite of the installation of increasingly sophisticated surveillance equipment, Lithuanian authorities are still struggling to eradicate a highly lucrative cross-border traffic in cigarettes with the neighbouring Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Their task is made all the more difficult by the wide variety of interests served by the illegal trade. 
Second homes, hotels, land and football clubs… Greece, and particularly the region of Thessaloniki, is being swept by a tide of Russian money. A financial windfall which could have an impact on the privatisation of the country’s infrastructure. - 1 of 6
