Il primo gennaio 2007 avremo una Unione europea a 27: vi entreranno infatti anche Romania e Bulgaria. Ma il presidente della Commissione europea José Barroso ha affermato che dopo di loro sia meglio chiudere la porta. Dal 2000, quando iniziarono i negoziati per l’adesione, la Romania si sforza di mantenere gli impegni assunti: i funzionari di Strasburgo hanno riconosciuto gli sforzi compiuti da Bucarest, soprattutto nella lotta alla corruzione e nella riforma del sistema giudiziario. Romania e la Bulgaria saranno i paesi più poveri dell’Ue: malgrado la crescita economica sostenuta, gli stipendi sono aumentati di poco. Tra i ventisette paesi membri che conterà l’UE dal prossimo gennaio, la Romania occupa il settimo posto in base al numero degli abitanti. Nel parlamento europeo avrà trentacinque parlamentari che verranno eletti nelle elezioni europee del 31 dicembre del 2007 - riporta Mihaela Iordache per Osservatorio sui Balcani.

Yhdysvaltain hallitus on kuukausia valittanut, että Iranin sekaantuminen Irakin asioihin uhkaa maan vakautta ja amerikkalaisjoukkoja siellä. Tosiasiassa Iran saattaa pidätellä Irakin shiioja hyökkäämästä täydellä voimalla amerikkalaisten kimppuun. Presidentti George W. Bushin hallitus ei näytä täysin oivaltaneen, että Yhdysvaltain miehityksen jatkuminen Irakissa riippuu nyt Iranin ja sen irakilaisten shiia-liittolaisten sietokyvystä.

Sambian vaalit, jotka on määrä pitää 28. syyskuuta, lähestyvät. Vaalit ovat maan neljännet monipuoluevaalit vuoden 1991 jälkeen, jolloin maassa 27 vuotta jatkunut yhden puolueen valta päättyi. Politiikan analyytikot uskovat, että maan istuva presidentti Levy Mwanawasa tulee taistelemaan tiukasti vaalivoitosta, joka veisi hänet toiselle ja viimeiselle kaudelle.
