Light pollution : Darkness falls but only in Slovenia
8 September 2010PresseuropFrankfurter Rundschau
In taking over from the minority government of Janez Janša, who was booed in the street and ultimately ousted by the coalition, the new leader of the centre-left has a chance to tame the political crisis facing Slovenia. Unfortunately, a catastrophic economic situation awaits her. 
Croatia's accession to the EU, scheduled for July 1, remains suspended until a border dispute and banking row with neighbouring Slovenia are cleared up. The impasse exposes the gap in perceptions of national sovereignty between the EU and the continent’s new independent states. 
The divorce between the political class and the Slovenian population is expanding at the same rate as the revelations about corruption. Now that the head of government himself has been caught up in the scandals, Slovenian society stands at a crossroads. 
In early December, thousands of demonstrators took to the the streets of Maribor to drive out the local mayor. What was the motive for the eruption of discontent in a city where people are usually so well behaved? The economic crisis and the impunity of the country’s political elite, a Slovenian journalist explains. 
The planned high-speed train that was supposed to link Lisbon to Kiev will not be pulling away from the platform anytime soon. The crisis and the many obstacles on a route that promised to take travelers from the Atlantic to the Russian steppe mean that the European rail corridor has almost ground to halt. 
Janez Janša is back in power in Slovenia, since February, despite having lost the December 2011 legislative elections. This veteran political operative has a firm grip on the reins of power and is placing his allies in key positions, beginning with the justice department and the secret services. 
Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia... As candidates for accession to the EU, all of these states have had to bow to pressure for sacrifices and compromises from Brussels. A Macedonian columnist notes that the more they have waited, the more the concessions demanded have proved to be exacting. 
The first post-communist country to adopt the euro, the former flagship state of the former Yugoslavia is struggling to recover from the crisis of 2009. And the new - and fragile - Government of Janez Janša is fighting get the country out of the impasse. 
Forget the nation-state: Europe would be much better off if it were fundamentally reorganised – into powerful regions in the north and the Alps and picturesque bankrupts in the south 
On 1 May, the doors will open wide for Poles, Czechs and other eastern Europeans now free to work in Germany. But no one expects a stampede. Quite the opposite: German companies will have to woo the new guest workers ardently and assiduously. 
Traveller, writer and journalist. Italian, Balkan and a little bit Slavic too. Paolo Rumiz is all these things at the same time, this man who has passed through the upheavals of Europe and got it all down in books of highly personal tales. 
"For or against joining the EU?" Between now and the end of the year, the citizens of Croatia will be called on to answer a question they increasingly see as irrelevant. Having overcome many obstacles on the road to accession, they are no longer interested in a Europe that is strongly associated with their country’s discredited political elite. 
With the help of independent publishing houses and with the input from the Old World’s cultural institutes and agencies, European literature is finally making inroads in the United States, a country which traditionally shies away from books in translation. 
A nest of vipers, a powderkeg of ancient hatreds or the cradle of Western civilisation — Europe doesn't know how to view its troublesome southeastern corner. One thing is sure though, it keeps getting its stance wrong. 
In the time of the Venetian Republic, the Adriatic ports were the trade capitals for the Orient. They are now reuniting to challenge northern Europe’s maritime monopoly, with an economic and ecological edge. - 1 of 2
