Amazing Balkan unity - 9 countries sign a treaty

whaddaya know... all of them are working to make nice with the eu in hopes of someday joining but if it brings them into common purpose, wonderful...

As winter approaches, about two million people in the southern Serbian province of Kosovo face hours of power cuts daily. In Bosnia too, millions face similar problems.

In the rest of Serbia the state-owned production and distribution giant EPS is again warning people that long power cuts will be imminent if consumption is not restrained.

All that will not change this winter. But after the signing of the Energy Community Treaty with the European Union (EU) earlier this week in Athens, experts agree that over the next few years it will.

Nine countries of the region (Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Kosovo represented by the United Nations administration) joined the treaty that should improve power supply to some 150 million people.

The EU declared that this was "the first time in history that all of these states and territories have signed a legally binding treaty, a milestone in reconciliation after the wars of the 1990s."

cool...
