A conflict over border controls in the Schengen area has broken out in the run-up to today's meeting of EU interior ministers.

ANALYSIS schengen zone : The 61st hour: no love for 'Europe day' on 9 May

The 61st hour: no love for 'Europe day' on 9 May

Poor Greece, tough nuts Schwarzenegger, people's populism and economic depression. Robert Schuman, the-then French foreign minister who proposed the concept of the European Union on 9 May 1950, would be rotating in his grave. In spite of its celebratory pompous institutionalism and political speeches today, Europe is not in its finest hour

Visa liberalisation: cripes! Are Bosnians going to swamp EU?

The news comes mid-afternoon on 8 November: the EU’s given the green light for Bosnia and Albania to travel in the 25 countries of the Schengen zone without a visa from mid-December! It has brought a smile back on a number of Bosnian faces who have tired of queuing in front of the embassies
