Ten of thousands of Russians are making Cyprus their home from home. A trend that raises questions about Nicosia’s diplomatic and pecuniary relations with Moscow. 
For young Europeans from crisis stricken states, booming Australia has become a new land of opportunity. This is especially true for a new generation of Greek graduates, joining the largest expatriate Greek community in the world. 
Upping sticks to work elsewhere is a natural part of life in the United States. But not in Europe, where people are often afraid to move away from their home turf. A Swedish journalist argues that this lack of mobility is a handicap in the current crisis. 
More and more Poles are settling in the former East Germany, filling the void left by the flight of East Germans to the West following the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Lidové noviny is calling on Czechs to do the same, and so to help blur the borders of central Europe. 
Every summer, thousands of Bulgarians who live abroad come back home hoping to catch-up with old friends. But for the latter, these forced reunions become agony, notes with wry humour writer Gueorgui Nikolov. 
How many will leave the country? As Germany and Austria open their borders to workers from several Central and Eastern European countries, Polish authorities fear a new exodus of labour. 
Recently launched by the government in Tallinn, an initiative that aims to bring home some of the 200,000 Estonians who have recently left the country to work abroad has been greeted with scepticism by expatriates from the Baltic state. 
The brain drain is a serious issue for Bulgarians. But not all of the country’s young people leave for good. Those who have opted to return home after studies abroad have even created an association to build bridges with the rest of Bulgarian society. 
Every day, 305 Dutch citizens leave the Netherlands to live abroad. Sweden, which offers tranquility and a life that is close to nature, is one of their favourite destinations. 
In one corner – Germany, in search of skilled workers to feed its recovery. In the other, a Spain in crisis, where young graduates have no future. As in the sixties, a new flow of economic migrants might be making their way north. 
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. 
Portugal has never had so many graduates, but at the same time, it has never been so hard for young people to find work. Faced with a choice between dead-end jobs and a ticket to another life, they are leaving in droves — a lost generation in the making. 
For three years now, thousands of Portuguese have been fleeing the crisis at home to try their fortune in the erstwhile African colony, whose economy is taking off. This is a replay of the Portuguese exodus back in the 1960s – and harks back to the Age of Discovery. 
Reeling from the crisis and beset by corruption, Hungary is spectacularly failing its young, who are emigrating in droves, writes columnist Matild Torkos in Magyar Nemzet. With the EU also ignoring their plight, all they can do is leave 
8,000 foreigners, for the most part Europeans, have moved to Marrakech over the past few years. Their very presence and purchasing power are changing the face of the age-old Moroccan city. 
In Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, more and more people are choosing to emigrate to other continents in a quest for better living conditions. An exodus that threatens the economic and social fabric of their countries of origin. 
Worst-afflicted of EU states by the global current crisis, Ireland of the Celtic Tiger years seems an all too distant memory. Rob Brown warns that Dublin’s slash and burn budgets that reduce public spending to keep international finance sweet could lead not just to economic, but also social, meltdown. 
The French government has recently passed legislation that will give French citizens who live abroad their own MPs in the 2012 national elections. Madrid based author Giles Tremlet argues that with over a million expatriates living in Spain alone, the British diaspora needs representation – back home as well as in its countries of adoption. 
The international job fair for health professionals, which opens today in Bucharest, is an opportunity for countries in need of doctors, such as the United Kingdom, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden, to fill health service vacancies — and they have the means to offer wages and working conditions that are far beyond the scope of Romania"s health budget.
