Next: European union of micronations?
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008It is only a matter of time before the US and most European countries recognize Kosovan independence. Writing in Le Monde diplomatique, Jean-Arnault Dérens asks what such a move would achieve. In Vojvodina, the autonomous region in the north of Serbia that represents almost half the country’s population, the majority is Hungarian-speaking. Should it therefore become part of Hungary? Dérens warns that the endeavour to regulate problems in the Balkans by introducing new territorial divisions would be dangerous for the whole of Europe. Other solutions need to be sought that meet the requirements of the ethnic groups involved.
