There's just no doubt in my mind, the EU is finished, and Eastern Europe will split with the west and ally with Russia. Western Europe will erupt in chaos, civil wars and terror attacks from within by the hordes of refujihadis.

 Quoting: Tess.


If this will happen, then I'm quite afraid of attacks in Eastern countries too. Maybe not from refujihadists, but West never let Eastern Europe to ally with Russia. Poland [government] will never do this and they're biggest player here.

Years there are rumours about two Unions. Stronger west lead by Germany and then second one on east. Then Western Europe will have refujihadists and Eastern Europe will have big economic/politics problems and it will lead to raise "extremists" parties.

What else can you expect from Junker? Only BS. I really don't like him, with all of his hugs, kisses, touchings he giving to other leaders. Just like they're his pets or something.

Sorry for G00gle translate:

The European Union will close the borders for refugees from the war zones of the countries of the Middle East on March 1, we learned today from a source in Brussels close to the European Commission. As we were told, closing borders to refugees will be gradually implemented, mainly for refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan and then at the end of the process from within Syria.

"Demonstrative exercises complete the process of closing the borders is already taking place between Slovenian and Croatian, as well as between Serbia and Macedonia," the interlocutors today.


WFT??

I started separate thread on this: Thread: Belgrade newspaper: EU closes borders to refugees on March 1 entirely

- Many in the EP think 'ever closer union' is a good formulation for the future too - not just the past.

- We are not a multi-currency union.

- If other EU MS require similar changes then we would be in "treaty change mode" - and the EP would convene a convention.

- If all countries shared the refugee burden, there would be no crisis.

The British delegation will meet the Visegrad group – Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Czech Republic – after tonight’s dinner, media say.
Yesterday, those four countries rejected the U.K. proposal to curtail benefits for EU migrant workers.

Last night ended with conclusions on migration but only “some progress” on the issue of U.K.-EU relations. Today, it’s all Brexit.

Leaders are headed for what was initially called an English breakfast but — as a reminder of the lack of progress — has been renamed “English lunch.”

Reporters have quoted Greek sources saying Prime Minister Tsipras is threatening to veto the agreement on Brexit.

Tsipras wants an EU open-border policy up until March in exchange for his vote.



/Edit:

“We are asking for a unanimous decision that until (an EU-Turkey summit planned for) March 6, no state will unilaterally close its borders… if not, the Greek government will not approve the conclusion text,” the source told AFP.

Just start sending the so-called refugees back to Turkey as a measure. EU is not taken serious by radical Muslim countries and trying to bribe them with 3 billion euro taxpayer money is only enforcing the weak picture they have painted of us. Merkel talks of letting Turkey into the EU should be viewed as a big threat to every European citizen.

I agree with that weak picture. Just wait for next summit with Turkey. Merkel will beg Turkish PM...

Then we will get even weaker picture. And Turkey, with their mad dictator Erdogan, will celebrate this.

David Cameron has been praised by fellow Conservatives for securing a “unique” deal for Britain — before a deal has been struck.

A group of 60 Tory party members signed a letter saying that “for the first time since 1975 a British Prime Minister has returned from a summit with more powers than when they arrived”.

After a marathon two-day negotiating session in Brussels, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council chief Donald Tusk put a final text before leaders that they believe “is a very fair and balanced proposal, which should have a good chance to gain the agreement of all 28 leaders,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Just one headline I found. Official story probably not interesting. Nothing about UK, migration etc.

But I'm quite sure there is no coincidence with timing of Netanyahu's visit.
