If you already talking about him, do you know to what is the name of this organization that Solana was apparently linked to? From this photo:

Ok I have chceked half of EU states forums and on every forum there is somebody like Crow who talks about (depends form forum) Slavic Union, Serb Celts, Serb Catholics, Serb Orthodox, Serbs Slavs, White Serbs, Serbs victims, Serbs defenders of Christians (...) check if you want.

I will avoid Souther talking about peaceful Serbs lovin nature.

In our current situation (Russia, shield, EU unity) it was the best soultion.

Your motives are clear, and some (rather most) politicians are honest and say staright what is the problem with Kosovo for Spain and it is not about Serb Catholics.

it is rather about :

Very true. But it s not simply Spain which may have a problem with what happened in Kosovo. This is a big deal for all countries with minority groups living within their borders. What is an even bigger issue is the fact that this action sets a precedent whereby areas with a large immigrant community could possibly break away from the country they live in.

The case of the Basques is different as they are the oldest nation in Europe and have been treated cery badly by the Spanish establishment, but areas with large immigrant communities like Bradford in England or Marseille in France could conceivably in the future become independent states on this basis.

Our standing was : "If you realy want it ...". Poland with its history will think twice before will reject sb's independence.

Spanish intensions are clear. As I know others (even it can be problematic for them in future) decided to support this project because there was threat that Albanians will atack NATO forces in Kosovo (who promised them independence) and new conflict would begin.

It is very interesing situation and there will be consequences. We will see what will happen. It isn't direct threat for Poland. Maybe we will see new countries like independent Scotland or Basque country (positive efect) or problems on Ukraine (negative)

I am writing it to remember myself some family stories I had heard. There was an uncle, politically active bright man. While the rest of family was either borderline fascist (my father) or anti-communist, he was union organizer and defender in court cases. Strangely even my father admired his commitment. He used name Walter (it was not his real name) and after coming back from Spain faded away. Was killed in 1939 in the first days of the war. His wife remained single and had nothing to do with post war rulers and received no favors.

Basque country today enjoys more autonomy than any other - it has its own parliament, police force, controls education and collects its own taxes -
about eta this wankers Its popular support appears to have declined as democracy has given the Basques more rights, and popular demonstrations against the group in Basque cities frequently occur following its killings.

have been treated cery badly by the Spanish establishment

i think is eta who go to a vascos buisinessmen and extort (if you Refusal to pay they has been punished with assassinations, kidnappings for ransom or bombings of their business).

who treated badly the vascos? i think eta did , if they do this thing to his own people.
do you think this people wanted to be treated like that? i dont think soo

Yes - ETA would appear to have very little mandate these days and people seem not to want violence such as what you have outlined above.

However, to see ETA as the starting point for the problems of PaĆ­s Vasco is short sighted and displays more your own personal political convictions rather than providing a real analysis of the reasons behind the troubles in the region.

The Basques were treated very badly under Franco and for many of them it is hard to forgive and forget what happened during that time. Its understandable. Pretending it never happened will mean that it is never dealt with properly.

If people are supposed to be part of a country they should be treated as such. Franco always treated them as outsiders and Spain suffered as a result. You should look to the actions of El Caudillo if you want to find the real causes of why so many innocent Spaniards died over the years. ETA were a murderous reaction to Franco's policy of exclusion.

That doesnt change anything I said above - of course it is a disgusting murder of an innocent person - you will note that I acknowledged above that ETA are a murderous grouping who do not receive popular support. However, if Spain is serious about wanting to bring an end to the problem then the Spanish Government must be willing to explore ways of doing so, other than defeating them militarily.

All peace processes, be it South Africa, Palestine or Ireland, begin in such a manner - its the only way that peace can be achieved. If that is not what you want then by all means continue.
