Belgium holding EU presidency by Milota Sidorova

Whether it is kind of accident, I can't say, but it seems that every country holding EU governing relay-race has been kind on politically or economically tormented. The last year it was Czech Republic whose government had failed shortly before the official chair was taken. We skip Sweeden dealing its social and economical problems and focus on Spain that could become another Greece. Spainish chair was hit by rough economical reform proposals and public strikes. These days it is Belgium keeping the relay for another six months and Belgium is dealing with two almost autonomies within. Last weeks, fierce talks and election took over the country bringing to the boil northern Du! tch speaking Flanders and southern French speaking Wallonia regions. Although the problems between these two smaller countries have lasted perhaps hundreds years, reunion may be more than herculean challenge, after the last elections. Victory belonged to Flemish separatist New Flemish Alliance led by Bart de Wever. In current situation, in the absence of a national government, the presidency was taken by Belgium's outgoing caretaker Prime Minister Yves Leterme. But national problem is not the only one cause of nerviosity, if spoken of Belgium presidency. After the controversial passage of Lisbon Treaty, the position of permanent EU president was created. And the seat was held by a former Belgium Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy who could use his direct and indirect influence on EU policies and economies during the most vulnerable euro crisis. During the time when EU speaks of unprecedently creating two euro currencies and multiplied layers of huge loans, Belgium is certain! ly not the most stable country to be relied on.
