Sarkozy Visits Dublin
Europe
Written by Tim Neale   
Jul 25, 2008 at 04:00 PM

Nicolas Sarkozy’s visit to Dublin on Jul. 21 was a non-event. The French President, in an uncharacteristic display of tact and diplomacy, spent his time in Dublin soothing feathers, unnecessarily ruffled the previous week. Nothing was decided, other than decisions will be made later.

Irish voters have presented the European Union (EU) with a considerable problem by rejecting the Lisbon treaty in a referendum in June. All member states have to ratify the treaty for it to come into effect.

Radovan Karadzic has been arrested in Serbia's capital of Belgrade. The former Bosnian Serb leader has been indicted by the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Karadzic has been on the run for nearly 13 years, along with the Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic. They face charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and violation of the laws of war, relating to the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina between April 1992 and July 1995.

With PayPerPost.

I want my websites to be self-supporting, so I need to cover the costs of hosting and domain names. Having signed up with various advertisement and referrals programs, I have now decided to give sponsored blogging a go with PayPerPost.

I heard about PayPerPost through other bloggers. It was quite controversial when it first came out. It still is to some people, but I do not see any problem with it. UpFront News is a general news site, and a sponsored post is the same as an advertising feature in a news magazine.

Serbia’s parliament has approved a new government. The alliance 'For a European Serbia' (ZEC), led by President Boris Tadic's Democratic Party (DS) has joined forces with a small group of parties led by the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) of late President Slobodan Milosevic. Mirko Cvetkovic will be the new Prime Minister.

In a daylong debate preceding the approval vote, Mr Cvetkovic said, "The government's main objective is for Serbia to gain European Union (EU) candidate country status by the end of this year or by the beginning of next year."

Mayoral Vote Can Not be Verified
UK

The Open Rights Group (ORG) will not verify the result of London’s May elections. Saying, "There is insufficient evidence available to allow independent observers to state reliably whether the results ... are an accurate representation of voters’ intentions."

The elections for the Mayor of London and the 25-member London Assembly are among the most important local elections in the UK. An independent body, London Elects, organizes them.
