Some articles
I guess everybody who`s a bit interested in what`s happening around the world and especially in Europe, could point out the top news from the last couple of days- the Independence of Kosovo.
It`s a quite contradictory issue. Some countries (USA, France, Germany,…) recognized it, some not (Russia, …). Nobody knows where this conflict will end, although the initial idea was to bring more peace and stability in Europe.
That`s a link to an article we were discussing, taken from the FT, but as you could probably be much more curious about the topic, just type “Kosovo” in the search box and you`ll find plenty of materials.
Russia warns EU over Kosovo recognition
The second article I`ld like to put your attention on is again from FT, but on a different subject-
Blair signals interest in EU`s top job
